[Tfug] Bringing the FSF to Tucson

[erich]

Either that,
          Or it's too difficult for an amateur to install, with a distro 
such as Gentoo.
It's also time consuming. I'm installing openoffice  as we speak, and it 
will
take another, (maybe  5) hours to complete on a separate 1400Mhz 
machine. (We don't
use DISTCC.)
