I know a few folks in the OKC area, it might be just a matter of setting a
time and place and getting the news out. I've become more of a Gnome guy due
to availability of systems in the office (Solaris) and a few painful moments
playing with KDE4 under Gentoo. However, I was very KDE years ago. Found an
OLD Thinkpad of mine in a box. 200Mhz Pentium running Mandriva with KDE.

I'm not running eeebuntu but I am running the UNR edition on my Lenovo S10
netbook. The Netbook Remix really makes a big difference, small things like
maximus made the machine dramatically more productive for me.
