Dear Jan-Bart

I dont have any slides, all i have are the books that are included with the 
distrobutions.  I don't know how much you are intending to charge for your 
teaching class, or if indeed your even making any money from it, but if you 
are interested I can send some stock to you of the retail boxes, retail price 
of €70, trade price of around €50.

If you are teaching complete newbies, then these books are ideal because they 
cover:

Installation Quick Start
KDE Quick Start
Gnome Quick Start
LibreOffice Quick Start

As for support each box comes with 90 days telephone technical support from 
open-slx and of course additional technical support from myself as much as 
possible.

I admit the only person who asked for technical support was asking detailed 
questions about programing in Fortran which was above me..I refered him to 
KDevelop, Eclipse, Netbeans or something other IDE related.

Stuart
