Keine deutsche Uebersetzung, leider. Gibt es hier Leute, die unbedingt 
darauf angewiesen sind?

Pas de traduction Français, malheureusement. Est ce que quelcun a besoin 
en tous cas pour ça?

(bash is the standard Linux Program for accepting written commands from

It appears we have plenty of people willing to act as intructors. Great! 
What I miss completely is interest from beginners or windows users to 
learn some Linux basics. There are about 100 people on this list, so 
there must be some interest, but nobody has come forward.

In any case I propose a workshop early next year. Or maybe two identical 
ones in two cities in order to ease the cost of travelling. At the 
beginning perhaps an introduction to Linux. Demonstration of the LTSP, etc.

Problem: language. We really need to address German, French, and 
English, but doing so properly takes too much time. English is required 
for any Linux expert, as much of the documentation is available only in 
this language. Maybe we could do parallel sessions, e.g. English in one 
room and French in another, and perhaps leave out German.
