[CoLoCo] freeyourcomputer

[Alex Comer]

For reference, In the other related thread, these four were mentioned:

   - What is Ubuntu?
   - About Colorado CoLoCo
   - Getting support
   - Download Now

I'll also agree with Ryan that appearing as zealots will alienate folks. My
vote would be to focus on what Ubuntu does right.
