Hi:  This exchange was most interesting.  Steve and so many others need a 
"model".  http://dot.kde.org/1015251670/ describes the one chosen by and used 
with Melbourne, Florida's switch to linux.  Do we have a consensus that 
possibly something close to this, say, in a two or three computer "Demo" 
setup that I, or anyone could haul over to a school, set on the table, and 
say, evaluate the potential of this as a network solution?  Now, we would 
have something that every LUG could put together, and pass around to 
organizations and schools to try out.  If we build such a "Demo", then people 
know what to ask for, when they read something like "SEUL.ORG recommends a 
school network solution starting with this whatever setup".
