Were we gonna do an install fest (where there'd be a high concentration of
beginners) sometime soon?  Seems to me that we might wanna put any big
concentrations of newbie help in a big chunk that's obviously
newbie-oriented.  Although, "explore your the simple command of the week in
depth" somewhere in each meeting might be kinda cool.  Take a command (like
grep) and talk about it in-depth, going over all the obtuse options it has,
etc. - maybe with some demo runs if we have a computer and screen...  Then
newbies get exposed to useful basic commands, and usually most everyone
else sees yet another command they had but didn't know all about. :)  It's
not an issue of remembering how to call them, but knowing the capability's
there...
