[CoLoCo] need to build a lab for TIE

[Diane Leikvold]

Hi Guys, I might be interested in helping out at the TIE conference.  Could
anyone give me an idea of what the specifics are?  We are not using LTSP in
my lab or the school, but having converted over to Ubuntu this summer,
things have been going very well.  I would be happy to help out in any way I
can.  Recently, I sent over to Eric all our older P3-P4 pc's, and monitors,
however I agree, looks are everything and a shinny new looking lab would
diffidently  be a better choice if possible.  What about using Laptops?
