PDC (Primary Domain Controller) is just as confusing for a "newbie" I
guess. :) Maybe something like central authentication server? (although
its a little more)
At least I would list the features and possibilities not the services.
Try to make it clear and understandable.
I would suggest to give some technical description as well. For us ;) or
for the system administrator of school X who wonders what this magic
solution is all about. There should be some technical description about
installation and maintainance at least.
And what David points out. :)
We still don't know what Karoshi is exactly.

Herman
