Just started a "User help users" page on binary freedom:
http://wiki.binaryfreedom.info/index.php/Users_Help_Users

It is an idea adopted from this Xbox Linux page:
http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/Users_Help_Users

Not all people may have the expertise to install OS on their computer,
which could be a great barrier for them even if they want to get rid
of M$'s restrictive OS. This page can list what people can help
installing Linux on their computer.

However I don't think it is rational to _only_ install "totally free"
distro's like gNewsense. People may be dependent on different things
and we shall help them 'free' as much of their computer as possible,
not forcing our own solution down their throat. I myself would even
merely convert their M$ document to OpenOffice document if that's the
case.

That said, you can't be familiar with every distro out there, so you
might like to list distros that you are familiar with.

My English isn't very good... so my message here or on the wiki may be
unclear, so please, feel free to clean things up!! Thanks!!!
