Please post it to the list... many schools have old macs that they are
wondering what to do with...

Also, if someone has a MacOSX server setup for netbooting, please drop

BTW, I've offered to host the LTSP-PPC work that is being done. No docs
at the moment, but you can FTP the files from:

ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/pub/ltsp-ppc/
