Hi:  What is this?  A manifesto?    <grin>

All of the above are good targets.  I suggest rephrasing the negative one, 
the one about no tech support SuSE or Linux.  How about redirecting to the 
users groups for tech-related questions?  Of course, all questions are 
welcome, right?  Tech questions invariably have an end-user description with 
them, and those would be most helpful to the rest of the list.  For example, 
"I can't get my computers to ping each other."  This calls for a description 
of what setup is being used in what classrooms in how many buildings.  That 
part of it we should encourage, as it lets visualization of what others are 
doing be shared.
