[SATLUG] which laptop to buy?

[Steven Winston]

Who did you speak to at RedHat?  I want to know who to make fun of in my 
IRC conversation ;-)...  seriously if you want to talk to their developers 
go to irc.openprojects.net and join #redhat.  A good number of the poeple 
on there work for redhat and they should be able to help.

Remember we can offer help here to, what exactly isn't working?
