Sorry about the html post, BTW.

Setting up a new machine - the "gift" from a client doing some downsizing -
and had not gotten to changing the defaults on Outlook Express.

The better news being its main purpose is giving me a Linux box.  But I was
inbetween screwing up my Linux install.

Gotta stop loggin in as root.

Having hosed my Redhat, decided to Debian. Then having hosed my Debian
stable, I'm onto Debian experimental.  In the course of which I am beginning
to look at Debian Jr, DebianEdu and other Debian and Linux initiatives aimed
at children and at free educational software distributions.

Ofset http://www.ofset.org/ is particularly interesting to me, as it seems
quite active and actually publishes a CD, it seems to have started with (and
directly supports)  Dr. Genius and Dr. Geo - dynamic geometry apps, and - it
doesn't hurt - they list PyGeo in their directory.

Will probably pursue finding out what it will take to have PyGeo published
on their CD.

Could give me the impetus I need to do some decent docs, tutorials.
