Heh, I helped start TriLUG (RTP area of NC--home of Red Hat) and I'm
still involved with them...

And I'm pleasantly surprised by the number of posts by folks from both
the NC and CO LUGs who are saying:

 - could perhaps be good through increased Linux user base

 - Free/Open licenses provide pretty effective protection 
   against all sorts of corporate nastiness

 - Mozilla is doing rather well with many coders supported 
   by AOL/TW paychecks
