I would really like to see the something on the following...

I am CERTAINLY no programmer, definitely not a hacker, but most
certainly a hack.  ;)  But AS a non-programmer, I would really like to
know how I can help with the development and distribution of, primarily,
Linux and other Open Source products.

Incidentally, several others of the guys I work with have either used or
are using Linux of some flavor and are familiar with it.  It's really
refreshing to work with people who understand you don't have to have
Micro$oft to have a computer.
