Wait a minute, didn't somebody write a column about this not too long ago? Let me see... http://www.daemonnews.org/199901/d-advocate.html Yup, there it is: ``Find somebody who needs some help and slip them a BSD CD-ROM. Get involved with your local high school computer club, a UNIX user group, ACM chapter, IEEE society, etc. '' Close enough. What a great idea. ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
