| In a time when our lives are increasingly dependent on technologies, it is
| important we take the time to consider the impact of technology on our lives,
| and the importance of ensuring technology isn't used to limit us, but rather
| to take us further along a path of opportunity, innovation and freedom for
| all people.

| Help those who are interested in installing/configuring a GNU/Linux
| distribution, get them started with basic set of tools and applications and
| finally point them to the various sources of help/documentation(IRC, forums,
| mailing-lists etc.) so that they can take care of themselves from there. Hand
| interested people burned GNU/Linux distribution DVDs.
