[PLUG] linux for a Ludite

[Chuck Hast]

At this point I have Lubuntu with Chromium and FF, it also has Cairo Dock

a lot of what is going, I put some strange color theme on it so she likes
it.

The big thing is that screen the woman just will NOT buy glasses, at least
with that screen she can see it all.
