Hi: For starters, we'll have to follow up on this SuSE for U.S. High Schools:
http://www.suse.com/us/press/press_releases/archive01/Free_SuSE_Linux.html

I ran the address for filling out the form, but that is no longer available.
There is an email address for contact:
mailto:hd AT suse.de for Holger Dyroff, and you might ask what the situation is.
If you're uncomfortable doing this, I will. Just let me know. If you do,
then will you report to the list what happened?

The ease of installing SuSE really is close to Windoz at this point, I think.

And, you'll see when you install, you're given a choice of installing as a
server, workstation, custom, and upgrade. Lots of reasons to consider using
SuSE, or any of the major distributions at this time.

Thanks,
Tom Poe
