Somewhere else to consider, both for pamphlets, and for possibly 
installing a Linux desktop... The Wellington People's Centre.

That is a community centre for people on low incomes that provides all 
sorts of services. I think that they would most likely much appreciate 
having the latest SuSE and OpenOffice available to them, their members, 
and the general public.

And *that* would be a good way to get Linux known by many people who 
otherwise wouldn't know much about computers.
