Hello Jason I work at a university, while also trying to finish up my PhD. My research for this summer is to do a thin client using openSuSE. It has been a real education just working with the GNU/Linux, SuSE, and the openSuSE communities, not to mention open source software (OSS). I too am waiting for the education software to debut with 10.3 cuz my dissertation for the fall is doing a virtual school district using only OSS. That is going to be a blast! For Programmers! One thing that limits OSS is the use of tar.gz. Many are made in general and you have to use configure and make. This is when you find out that you also need to load other libraries, or your distro is not putting files where the downloaded software can find them. I think we need to migrate to distro RPM's. It would surely take the headache out of using this software.

Greetings,
My name is Jason Grizzle, and I'm an instructional technology specialist with Jackson County Schools in Georgia (USA). I'm excited about the educational focus for open suse. As a system, we're looking to migrate to SLED in (probably) 2-3 years for our Windows machines. My job function is tech. integration and teacher training, and I'm very interested in beta testing or developing documentation for you. I'm not a programmer, but I can develop web training, documents, and video tutorials.
Please let me know how I can help you in your endeavors. Jason
