Hi James and project members.

I just wanted to post a message of congratulations and encouragement. Your hard work is not going unnoticed. I am a Network Specialist with a K-12 school district in upstate NY ( http://oacsd.org ). We are SERIOUSLY exploring the potential of switching to Suse Linux (Novell SLED 10) on the desktop and utilizing the OpenSuse Education project software bundle. I have been adding your package to all my prototype test builds and have been pleased with the progress. I hope to have some prototype desktop builds for teachers to "play" with sometime in the future.

Keep up the good work.

Erik, Welcome to the fold, I am as I write in Delhi, NY for the 2-3-98 FOSS conference , I am presenting on Linux deployment in K12. I hope you have engaged to be here. My hope and aim for this project was that every school that desired a modern network with software written to meet scholastic needs had an opportunity to do so. Our next phase which will produce specific desktop configurations with tools for parents and administrators alike will be very interesting and I hope that you stay tuned. Please feel free to join our efforts to make the worlds most classroom ready distribution. Read the goals section of our page and let us know what you would like to work on.
