Hi Karsten

My name is Mike Norton, I am the administrator and all around tech 
guy for a public charter school in Magalia CA.  We are in the mountains 
above Chico.

At the moment we have a small lab of 8 computers.  We are in a temp 
building and about to move into our new facility where we will have 
a 16 station lab and computers all over the place.

I am in the proccess of going all GNU/Linux in our labs.  I just 
found the K12LTPS project.  Im going to give it a try.  

I would love some tips as I am still new to linux, 5 years or so.
But that has not been solid.  Back and forth, back and forth.

I am also developing a Student Information System for our charter 
to keep track of student records using PHP and MySQL.  I have placed 
the project at sourceforge.  http://sourceforge.net/projects/blueboysis/

Well thats it for now.  Glad to hear from someone in the same part 
of the world as me.
