Question mark?!? :-)

For those of you who didn't come by, here's a few photos of the trilug
booth:

One of the things we'd like to do for the next hamfest is find a linux
distro geared towards ham radio.  I found AFU Knoppix, but the web
pages are almost all in German and you apparently have to select
english at boot time (otherwise it boots into German).  Anyone want
to help out perhaps in slightly modifying this to default to English?
Also, it would be good to test this before the meeting.  What would
really be cool is if we could test this before the upcoming ham radio
field day (June 26-27) and take some copies of it to Field Day to get
people interested in it. O:-)  If anyone is interested in trying this
out, please let me know.

Cheers,
Tanner
