While not be able to see the sheets in action, I have found them on the 
bootdisk. And as soon I saw the content of the folder I thought: What? So few 
sheets?

The install takes longer then 40 minutes. And we probably use 5 of them....
We have the ideal opportunity to introduce SUSE Linux to new users (other 
users don't watch it anyway) and all I see is some general information. "You 
can chat, you can paint, you can fax and this all supported by Novell".....

Why don't we use the sheets in a way the users is attracted to read them? 
Learning the new users some programs the can use. See it as a movie-trailer 
that promotes the movie.

My proposal is that we promote/explain some key-programs/features of SUSE 
Linux. Introduce the packagemanager/updater, show some XGL screenshots so 
they are amazed (even when it is not available for their PC). Make people 
feel fuzzy for SUSE Linux... This is just a 'brain-fart' so it is not ideal, 
but it is MORE then we have now.

Users allready know they can contact MSN-buddies and they can email. They 
don't know how slick the programs are. 

We have enough disk-space, please lets use some of it for more images and more 
information/sheets..... (otherwise dump some stuff from cd1 to 2 :P)
