K12LTSP is going to be the presentation topic at the May 28th VanLUG 
meeting.  Free Geekers are welcome to join us at the Telus Theatre, BCIT 
Burnaby Campus at 7:30.

As was mentioned earlier, LTSP and its educational variant K12LTSP, is a 
great way to make use of older hardware that might not otherwise be up 
to the task of running modern desktop applications.  Plus it scores 
really high on the geek factor ;-).
