I would so love a talk like this. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Red Hatter (which,
to those who know me, will come as no surprise), but I'm becoming more and
more aware of the Debian-sized gap in my knowledge.

I'll be there with bells on if anyone can get this up and running. Also
willing to help out with RH-based knowledge if that is what is needed.

Thanks for the idea!
The (other) Choob.
