Re: [seul-edu] Introducing Self, info request

["Stephen M. Helms" <Mytho_X@pacbell.net>]

Hello,

I would also like to introduce myself.  My name is Stephen Helms and I 
live in Vacaville, CA.  I am a member of the Linux User's Group Of 
Davis, which is an awesome LUG (shameless plug).  My distrbution of 
choice is debian and it rock!  I am married and have two young boys.  
This is why I am interested in SEUL.  I had heard of SEUL about two 
years ago and did not have the time then to get involved.  I just helped 
out at the SEUL booth (at Linux World Expo) on Wednesday (working with 
Harry McGregor) and really enjoyed getting involved.

I am interested in getting Linux in my boys school (Vacaville Christian 
School) and also in any of the public schools in the area.  I went by 
the LTSP booth and talked to Eric.  He gave me a really nice demo and a 
copy of LTS.  It looks really nice.  I would like to get this working at 
home to get some more experience with this and / or have someone show me 
there lab so I have a reference point to get Linux into more schools.

Stephen

btw Karsten where you at the LUGOD meeting last night?
