[K12OSN] Wiki?

Yes, 'da Geekz' web pages have been missing for some time, and I haven't 
seen any messages from him for quite a while, so I assume he has moved 
on to other things.  This is why I prefer that people post actual 
documents to the wiki, and not just links to their own pages; even an 
ugly copy of a page from one's personal collection of how-to's pasted 
into the wiki is better because the info won't be lost if one's website 
goes away.

With that said, the Wayback Machine at the internet archive has most of 
the info from da Geekz' pages, available at
http://web.archive.org/web/20060112093121/http://k12ltsp.howtoz.net/

I think the info in them is still useful if somewhat dated.  I suggest 
that the whole 'DaGeekz  HOWTOz Site' be moved from the front page 
(where it shouldn't have been in the first place) to, say, the software 
section, with an explanation that the original pages are gone but are 
available via the Internet Archive and provide a link.  I'll even do the 
work if MediaWiki is ready for us to start modifying pages.
