[jim stockford]

this slipped by me for a while.

> Hi SF-LUG,
>
> I'm Marland Dunn and I love using the Linux graphical desktop and my 
> mission in life is to bring awareness and help with the adaptation and 
> acceleration of Linux on desktop computers worldwide. This is why I 
> started a podcast and wrote a book on using Linux on a desktop 
> computer for newcomers to Linux.
>
> Linux Desktop For Beginners is an introduction to Linux and Open 
> Source Software written to give a quick, but thorough overview and 
> understanding of the Linux desktop in the easiest possible fashion.”
>
> Linux on the Desktop (Linux Desktop For Beginners) Podcast is a 
> podcast for people new to Linux that focuses exclusively on how to use 
> Linux on a desktop computer. The Linux on the desktop Podcast only 
> talks about how to use Linux on a desktop computer and not news and 
> events. This is what makes Linux on the desktop Podcast different.
>
> My goal with Linux Desktop For Beginners and Linux on the Desktop 
> Podcast is to help people new to Linux become comfortable and 
> confident using Linux on a desktop computer by supplementing and 
> complimenting each other.
>
> Linux Desktop For Beginners is available at www.lulu.com/content/504889
>
> Go to the Linux on the desktop Podcast web site at 
> www.linuxonthedesktop.org to download the podcast episodes, read the 
> show notes, join the Linux on the desktop Community Frappr Map and 
> learn more.
>
> “Linux and Open Source bring the world closer by using software with 
> Freedom and Choice.”
