20 * "I'd like to know how to index and search the huge mass of documentation that comes with a Linux distribution. I want my own personal Linux Box [Google]. It would be a very useful thing for a Linux beginner to have, but it seems beyond a Linux beginner's abilities to set up. This makes me think it's a good topic for a [WLUG] to be teaching." --GlynWebster
