Sounds good to me, if Jerry wants to demostrate that. And pulling stuff from the certification books sound a good idea. If you're willing to do it, then go ahead.
I also feel that we should start concentrating a bit on the network implementations of Linux as thats what it is strong in right now. Does anyone feel up to doing something on setting up a Linux box as a DNS and DHCP server? As for the meeting space in Hightstown, I think I'll wait till our next LUG and hopefully Art can make it. We can discuss what we want to do with the offer there. BTW I'm hoping to implement this to the LUG's website. Check it out at PHPnuke.org and tell me what you think.
