[wplug] Stuff at Pitt

[Chris]

I feel that a maybe a general way is better because then people can use no
matter what they use.  Or maybe both ways and give them the option.

I like that idea. Some topics for discussion are: which distros do we
want to write PPoE/PPP instructions for? Do we want to describe email
setup in a general way (set mailhost to 'imap.pitt.edu') or in a
specific way (in Evolution click Tools, click Mail Settings . . .)?

I am currently using Linux pretty much 24/7 at Pitt in the dorms. So, I
would be glad to help out writing the topic guides.

later,
joe
