[kwlug-disc] Fill-in talk needed for July

[Paul Nijjar]

I am surprised that you could not go on for a little longer about your
experiences.  You had to choose distributions and how to present the
topic, as well as getting Linux on people's machines. 

"No slides" is just a suggestion. You could make slides if you really
wanted to, but I do not think this should be an obligation. Making
slides takes a long time. Showing pictures probably takes less time.
