I assisted some one giving a Linux demo in a school.  The first problem
we encountered was the CDs not booting.  Second problem was the BIOS,
sensibly, password protected.  After finding the technician and changing
the boot sequence, everything ran smoothly, slowly, but smoothly.  We
only mounted a couple of local drives to show MS files could be read.
Teachers were running through various exercises from the curriculum with
out any bother.
