How about someone running a 'one day workshop'?

With a list of demonstrations to be collectively decided on.

(The problem will be catering for beginners and more advanced users in the same session...perhaps split between morning and afternoon).

What I would like is

Setting up a LINUX box (I must say I generally find that easier than windoze)

Configuring the Xserver/video drivers. Configuring Sound, network Configuring Printers (still a bit of mystery to me - unless you have

This sounds like an excellent idea. Rgds James Scott ---------- postscript)

Accessing the server remotely - Telnet, Xserver clients(Humminbird) and

Acorn's Gnome

Setting up and Using VNC (which some see as a cheap alternative to Xserver)

Downloading, unpacking and installing RPM type applications.

Typical Applications - Applix, Netscape, Star Office, GIMP, others?

And (why not) recompiling your own Kernel to include/exclude various bits.

I could offer the facilties for free - but not the expertise! Although I suspect many would prefer London as more 'central' communicationwise.
