Are we talking next Saturday as in THIS Saturday, or Saturday 9/7? Where and when?

Do they really need it to be Token Ring? Could those cards be yanked and replaced with 10/100 Ethernet cards?

Sorry I don't have the K12 email address handy (so please reply to both so 
I don't have to reboot to get it from my evolution client).
BUT, I thought I would keep you posted on the Network Project for the new 
Grace Baptist school in Granger (Mishawaka).

They had 30 PCs donated WITHOUT operating systems.  They range from PII350 
down to 166MMX boxen.  Some of the boxes are incomplete, but scrounging 
from one box to another will work.  Most have TokenRing cards.  I am seeing 
about getting them a CAU and LAM donated from my former employer (I paid 
$4200 for those a little over 3 years ago) as well as the STP.

Anyway, we are looking to install Linux in the computer lab on about 15 
computers.  We are looking at next Saturday if possible.  Anyone is welcome 
to help out regardless of experience level.
We will be:
-assessing hardware inventory
-rebuilding some PC's
-determine which distributions and window managers to install
-installing OSs
-configuring network
-setup email/web/NFS/Samba/bind on one designated as SERVER
-who knows what else?

I have only seen a sample box (Gateway PII even had an LS120 drive in it), 
but I don't know about the rest.
Again, anyone is welcome to join.  Richard, don't forget to get permission 
from the BOSS! (I didn't ask yet either)
