That's ok. I was busy yesterday and won't get it printed until Wednesday :-)

I think we need as much information about what we did associated with who we
did it for. Remember, a waiver is to protect *us*.

Both ftp & telnet will be removed as choices.

I'll make that a permanent 'x' for SSH (no server).

That suggestion came from the list...

I'll add checkboxes for: Netscape, Mozilla, Galeon, Konqueror, & Lynx.
With the growing pains gaim has had recently, I recommend a tutorial be
written (and posted at PLUGs website) on how to install software. A link to
it could be placed on the newly installed desktop and Gaim would be the
program the tutorial would install (I think I can get a tutorial written in
time for InstallFest). This way they would get the most current version, and
the experience too.

Programming languages: C, C++, Fortran, Perl, Python, ?, ?...

I think so. I've heard quite a bit on this list about Linux file servers
with Windows clients (That's a Samba server, right?).

I'll add wine. Games and music should be automatic.
Someone will need to provide java on CD if we're going to install it. If
someone does step up and burn a couple CDs with java, they should get both
JRE & JSDK.

Agreed.
