Zeke --

It's possible that TurboLinux has just suddenly realised that it needs
to do LUG liaison, and is just a bit clumsy about how to do it.

The company only _fairly_ recently opened a USA office, after being 
based mostly in Japan.  Then, it renamed itself from Pacific HiTech,
Inc. to TurboLinux, Inc., and moved its USA office from Oakland to
Brisbane.  But, in all that time, the company never did much outreach
to user groups -- and may have recently realised that.

A lot of the other Linux companies will provide complimentary one-disk
CD sets for user groups.  Red Hat has done this in the past (not sure
about recently), and definitely SuSE has.
