I was wondering that myself.  Roman Suzi maintains SEUL/edu's Links
Worldwide page and does an admirable job, I think.  I'd like to offer
that page as the basis for this comprehensive list of Linux in education
links, and invite other sites to link to it.  We'll heed to modify it
slightly to include more description of each site and we'll need to ad a
submission form for adding new links (I don't think they should go
immediately onto the page, but be checked and approved ["vetted"] by a
designated person before being posted.).

I'll be away from the net for most of the day, but I'll try to reply to
various messages later this afternoon/evening.  David seems to be doing
a good job moving discussion along; keep it up, OK?  Has anyone tried to
contact distros other than RedHat yet?  Upon reflection, I think we
should include Connectiva (spelling?) in our target distros, as they
have a good presence in South America.
