Garrick West wrote in with a cool idea. ZDNet is has something called 'Stump Jeff' where you can ask questions, and he'll try to answer them. Stump him, and you get a T-shirt! Garrick suggested that the 6 million Linux users should ask him their questions as well. Take this seriously, ask good questions: either our questions will be answered alongside the windows questions (earning positive exposure for Linux in the mainstream press, as well as heping out fellow users with the same questions) or we'll Stump Jeff and maybe win T-Shirts. Sound cool?
