linuxword update

[David Bristel]

Ok, now that the time is close, I'm wondering what sort of a display we want to
have there.  I'd personally like to see a solid demonstration of what makes
Debian better than the other distributions.  YOU know, and _I_ know, but to
those who have never seen Debian, they may want to see for themselves.
Depending on stations, perhaps showing off the installation process, and package
management would be good.  I've not tried the fresh setup of 2.1 yet, but it's
something that might attract some attention(hopefully good).  Any thoughts?
