Yea, Paul should be lurking around some where.

I am glad you are enjoying the class.  I am the instructor for CIS225
during the fall/spring semesters at west campus (Friday nights
normally), but due to getting married, I could not teach summer this
year.

If you decided to follow the track, I will be teaching CIS 226 Advanced
Linux on Saturday afternoons in the fall.

Many people around here are either BSD or Debian based.  You should be
able to find people on the list to help you out.

Hopefully once the semester starts we will start having meetings again. 
I can't host them at USGS/U of A until September since I will be out of
town for DefCon and LinuxWorld Expo.

Speaking of which, if anyone wants a free Exhibits Only pass to
LinuxWorld, drop me an email (Josh, feel free to stop by and pick yours
up anytime).  I have >50 of them laying around.
