[RHCE] Next class is... tomorrow the 9th

[rhce@trilug.org]

i'll have a server available, running 7.2.  the CD contents of 7.2 and 7.3
will be copied to the disk and available via the network.  i'll provide a
hub/switch and patch cables as well.  if the rest of the group can provide
a sacrificial workstation or two (and maybe a laptop) we should have
everything needed.  we can use the existing monitors/kbd/mice in the lab
so there's no need to lug them around.  let me know if anything needs
anything else, i will try to round it up before we get started.
