Is this really a Linux user group?

[Dave Germiquet]

I like it that you can talk about other things in TLUG other than linux
occasionally. We have quite a smart bunch and a variety of different
opinions on a variety of topics.

It's nice to see some intelligent comparisons and differences in a variety
of topics some times.
