HI Mark,

Congratulations on getting your computer club started in
Hudson/Marlboro.  I hope you get many attendees and that it goes well
for you.

I have some limited experience with Gimp, and perhaps a bit more with
OpenOffice, but I've never used inkscape, scribus, or KompoZer, for
example.  Perhaps others in the group could comment about those programs.

Nah, Fedora will never catch Ubuntu.  ;-)  (Oops, was that the opening
salvo to a religious war?  Just kidding...don't start a war, please.)
We have many folks in WLUG experienced on either (or perhaps both) of
those high quality distros.

Does your group have a website?  I'd be happy to put a link to it from
the WLUG site if you would reciprocate.

Later,

Andy
