[wplug-plan] Help Wanted for Pittsburgh Perl Workshop

[Greg Simkins]

Hi Beth Lynn,

I hope to have my new Dell Laptop by then.  I plan to install Windows Vista 
Beta on it.  I suppose I could install some Linux on it first.  I hope I can 
get a driver for it.  I was pretty scared by all the talk about can't 
connect to the wireless downtown with Linux.  I suppose I would choose 
Ubuntu.

Greg
