[seul-edu] A cry for help,



Hello Paul ,
we are working on setting up a LTSP at a local middle school. Tim Rogers trogers@head-start.lane.or.us from Head Start asked our local Linux folks for some help, but  I don't think anyone has volunteered yet. I thought you might be able to give him some guidance. I wish I could help but I am more the activist side of our efforts here in Lane County. We are deploying soon, perfect or not. We are trying to form a cohesive group here to offer training and mentoring. We also need to work on hardware. But I do believe, like you, that having this as user friendly as possible is the only way to assure acceptance by schools.
 
 
Here is Tim's post:
