Hi, Jimmy:  Aaaarrgghhh!   Well, there's a lot of work to be done.  OK.  
Simple is good.  I think we should develop a model for a demo.  I vote that 
the model start with a server and two thin clients, running SuSEX.X.  Any 
suggestions on which SuSE version might be the safest for a demo project?  I 
have been running SuSE7.1 with no obvious problems for about 1 year, now.  
Anyone have a better suggestion?

In the meantime, I have laid out an initial strategy that calls for 
contacting school principals and IT directors in the community and requesting 
"Informational Interviews" [approx 15 mins of their time], which would let me 
ask their opinions and advice about moving forward with a "pilot program" for 
community-based computer network installation and support for computers in 
our schools.  How's that sound to you folks?

Thanks,
