<p dir="ltr">That isn't a bad idea. I use puppy Linux on a thumb drive. It is tiny and stupid fast. I even have an old laptop that would be good for this. Thanks for the suggestion.</p>

> I think "Free software for beginners" would be totally rad. Like, bring an old laptop and install CrunchBang or another lightweight, friendly, desktop distribution and get it set up for an everyday computer. It'd be very empowering for people to see that you don't need a fancy computer or expensive software to have a great personal machine. (a machine that would also be perfect for the Ruby/Rails class ;))<br>

I need to spend some time coming up with material and writing documentation. I could go into depth about things like configuration management, scaling, installing linux, how linux works and all sorts of things. Do you think there is interest? I am a Linux Systems Engineer by trade. I also do some Windows stuff too.<br>
