I will soon be on the PTA technology committee for my sons' school. I hope to introduce more of an OSS methodology. My older boy already knows linux and the younger one is getting interested. Currently they are using iMacs in the upper grades and any old piece of hardware in the lower grades. Much of the software - Accelerated Reader, a writing program, and others - are web-based. Thanks for the link and the thread!! Hopefully the schools will soon see SUSE appearing. :) -- kai www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com www.filesite.org || www.donutmonster.com closing the doors that surround me so no one will ever penetrate complete my retreat just to wait for the day that never comes so i will laugh alone -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
