[TriLUG] Linux community link building campaign?

[Warren Myers]

An "active" campaign? Not sure much that I know of: but an *awful* lot of
people and places "link back" to various Linux sites (Canonical, Red Hat,
SuSE, etc).

Lots of research, commercial, personal, and educational sites have Linux
info and "back links" as well.
