I spoke with you earlier today in the lab about this Ed, but count me in
for helping out on the opening presentation. My laptop is currently
setup with current versions of most major software out there and I can
demo whatever. Specifically i would like to give some pointers on
getting through 212 or any of earlier classes that use the grace
cluster. Just being able to setup an X11 forwarded emacs would be a
huge help for most. I can bring some DVDs of Ubuntu or whatever other
distro people would like.

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to plan an introductory presentation for next Wednesday on
'neat' open source applications. If we can get 3-4 people to volunteer
to present an app (or apps), we'll go ahead with it, if not our first
presentation will be Wednesday the 16th at 6:00 pm (the Rsync
presentation). If you have any spiffy, guified Linux apps you'd like to
present, please let me know. Here's a list of examples I'm thinking of,
but if you have anything else please let me know:
1. Cool desktop managers - Gnome, KDE, Compiz
2. Office applications - OpenOffice, Evolution
3. Communication - Konversation, Pidgin
4. Graphics - Gimp, Inkscape, Cinelerra
5. Multi - user functionality via VNC/SSH/Xorg
6. Database management tools - MySQL GUI tools, anything Oracle related?
7. Anything multimedia - Mythtv, Amarok, Banshee, Mplayer, Xine, VLC
8. Anything else I haven't thought of...
