[wplug] Second round of questions from newbie...

[Henry Umansky]

If you really want to see what a lot of people are using in terms of 
distributions, desktops, apps, etc then check out some of these polls:

This should let you know what people, for the most part, are using.  In 
fact, please take part in the poll, it will give a more accurate reading.
