OK, John, here is how the CCCC classes are run. We have two lecture rooms with projectors and one lab room. The lab may or may not be able to have Linux on those computers?? I was thinking of a "Intro To Linux, or Do You Want To learn to Make Your Own OS." (or something like this). We have 2 hour classes starting at 10 am on Saturday and another one at 1 pm. I thought we would have the DemoLinux on a PC and just tell about it the first class. Once we know when and what, I will write a piece to put in our paper telling about it. The talk at the monthly meeting was just a teaser, this one will be for those people that want to get into Linux. In 2 hours, I don't think there would be enough time for people to have hands on experience.
