Hello all,

I am a 7-12th grade teacher at a small alternative school in Vermont USA.  When I took this job, I had no idea that in addition to being the special educator, I would be the computer administrator for the school.  Our school is small, with 16 student max, and 4 teachers.  My room just happens to be the computer lab.  The other teachers, however competent with computers, are only interested in using them, not maintaining them.  The lab was very cobbed together when I took over, with windows 98, xp home, and xp pro covering 8 computers on a network.  Six of the computers are in the lab, of which one is mine.  The other 2 are on teachers desks in other rooms.  So, we basically have 3 teacher computers and 5 student computers.  Being that I have different versions of windows on these computers, and that they were loaded with all kinds of games and other garbage when I took over, it has been hard to make them uniform.  Plus, we have a modest budget and I am constantly playing the!
 game of trying to upgrade computers and windows systems.  Its a total pain in the rear and i'm ready to try something new.  

I am interested in the k12 linux project.  My problem is that i'm handy with computers, but basically self-taught.  Removing hard-drives and setting up a server scares me.  Where do I start?  Can anyone help??? Thanks!
