I don't think that VAGUE will, could, or would ever want to settle
down to one distribution.
The suggestion I was making was that of a second OSS group in Vermont.
There are several MS based software groups. One of the problems we
have with VAGUE is that inexperienced people have a hard time keeping
up with the technical aspects of it. The prerequisites are enormous.
A SECOND GROUP, the Ubuntu group, could be more base around using the
software and networking computers, rather than developing software.
One of the best fronts to pursue in getting Ubuntu or any Linux distro
accepted in the schools is to get LDAP and Active directory working
correctly and in harmony. An organization needs to be able to allow
authorized users to log into any machine and get the same login and
home directory. UVM, and the Engineering and Mathematics department at
UVM are very successful at this.
I also think that Ubuntu solves a lot of the problems with ease of
use, and ease of installation.
Cheers,

And on the other piece of this topic, I'd just as soon the VAGUE list not
become an Ubuntu list, so to speak. I personally prefer CentOS. Although I
did just download the Puppy Linux someone mentioned earlier.
I completely agree that the Vermont Area Group of Unix Enthusiasts list
is a thing of perverse beauty and must remain as it is...
