It is probably too far for me (I live in Sparta - north of Grand
Rapids) but I will monitor this forum and if there are any questions
will try to help out.  

Also I am working on a series of textbooks on teaching word
processing, spreadsheets, etc using opensource software.  When I get
farther along on them I will let you all know!  I have not decided
yet how best to publish them (through a book company or what), any
ideas would be appreciated for publishing.

I also am going to be starting on a book on setting up Linux in a
school/business environment with terminals etc.  I will be gathering
notes and trying things out.  The book will include connectivity to
Windows, both terminal server and file system connections.
