We have two classes on Saturday, one at 10 and one at 1, each is two hours long with a one hour break after the first. Classroom one is strictly lecture with a projector, classroom two could be set up with computers, but they would have to be brought in. We have a few old computers that may be able to use Linux, but we would have to check that out. I don't know if the lab computers could handle the demo disk (boot from CD).
