[CoLoCo] A Windows user's view of linux

[TJ Heaney]

Ah, Red Hat.

Notice he made no mention of Ubuntu.... Perhaps he needs to get a more
community-oriented approach.

But at the same time, you need to crawl before you can walk, walk before you
can run, Ubuntu before you can Gentoo, Gentoo before you can Slack, and
ignore Red Hat all together. ;)
