Good day! I'm writing to give you more details for Thursday's Tech Coordinator Meeting.
1) 9:00 a.m. ICN Session The SL-ICCC and SLHigh School share the same roof. Drive to Storm Lake... http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?email=1&mapdat; ... and navigate to the back of the HS. (See map, attached.) Please note that there is a class in the ICN room until 9. Should you arrive early, we can meet in the commons and wait. There's a student coffee shop there if you like. 2) If you have a spare machine, feel free to bring it with you to the hands-on session later, across the street. We will load a flavor of linux (SuSE, RedHat, or Mandrake) and will attempt to network the machines. If you have an older Intel laptop, you may want to consider bringing it instead of lugging a PC and monitor. If a desktop PC is all you have, here's a site that shows "certified" hardware. (I have found lots of machines not listed on here that still work, FWIW. Ballpark it at P2 or better, 128 MB, 2 Gb HD. The better the machine, the better the performance.) http://hardware.redhat.com/hcl/ Note that if you have W2K installed already, most distributions will install linux on the side, if there's room, making your machine a dual-boot system. Feel free to shoot me an email if you have questions. Though I'm no expert, I have lined up one to be there Thursday. Cheers, Steve Scarbrough, Technology Coordinator Storm Lake Community School District 419 Lake Avenue Storm Lake, IA 50588 712.732.8100 fax:8101 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.storm-lake.k12.ia.us/~sscarbrough/
