I think so.  I would advise making it clear in the HOWTO title that it's
aimed at educational use, i.e., LINUX SERVER & MAC WORKSTATIONS IN AN
EDUCATIONAL SETTING.

I'll document my efforts to get Linux into a heretofore heavily
Macintosh school district (my local one).  That will be as much advocacy
as technical, I suspect.

Oh, Bill, you can't just leave it at that!  What NT-only apps are
keeping you from removing it?  This may be a prime case of a need for
developing a Linux program to address a need.

When you get something ready there will be room for it on the SEUL
server, and we will make sure its availability is publicized.
