[NTLUG:Discuss] Linux on ZDTV

[Kelly Scroggins]

I've been watching ZDTV for a while now.  And Leo is a big Linux fan.
He promotes it every opportunity he gets.  I believe he is influencing
others on the staff.  If they aren't already Linux users.

Leo hosts another show called "Call for Help" in which he is just as
enthusiastic about Linux.

A lot of the show(s) cater to very basic issues but one can always learn
something.

Still, it's interesting.
