You know, just setting up simple stuff like a web server can be very
impressive: a lot of people are using Linux for this sort of thing. It can
be very easy to make Linux do 'wow' things, but you want to make sure that
people realise that it can do office work and the like too - otherwise,
people sometimes get the impression it's some sort of esoteric windows
add-on that does impressive things, but, like a turbo charged Ferrari,
can't be used for anything mundane like going down the shops...
