Thanks for asking.  The grand scheme for the space is to have a few stand 
alone workstations with different flavors of Linux, and several thin clients 
running off our dual athlon mp, 2gb ram test and development server.  

Where we are now in this grand scheme is:

1.Installing a distro on another machine to give us two stand alone stations. 
2.Memtesting about 30 new arrivals
3.Completing some configuration on the test server.
4.Making or finding some catV cable
5.There are a lot of boxes with usable stuff that we need to separate and 
categorize.
6.There is a lot of stuff on the floor.  I am trying to get it neat and 
orderly, but it will be perhaps two more weeks before it is a showroom vs. a 
work in process.

There is nothing above anyone's head here.  As time goes by, one will be able 
to come by and see machines in the early phase of testing and refurbishing.  
This is a great opportunity to see the "guts" of a computer without risking 
harm to anyone.  One will also be able to play around on finished 
workstations.  If one would like, they can bring in a machine that they want 
to install Linux on, and we/I will help.  In the process of being around, one 
can ask any question and someone will try to answer.  Please know that you 
are welcome anytime.  We are in a workroom in the warehouse.  The cashiers 
are happy to point you there if you tell them that you have come to help with 
the computers.

we also are working on some of the happy fun graphics, like the carrot 
crunching bunny image, for a cd burning gui :-)
