Can't argue with this. The ability to present the material in a virtual forum would be a nice plus for those with space/time conflicts, and it would be great to preserve this capability if possible, but nothing makes it stick in the head more than having to give-up ACC playoffs in order to get it.

VNC is the way to go for shared graphical screens. Bandwidth is the problem.  This is particularly true for the recent Red Hat releases, where the goal was to create a distribution which would be administered from the X-console.

LPI may differ in this respect. For the demonstration and discussion of administration tools run from the command line, a simple(er) setup where the discussion leader starts a session in 'script' with the outfile available as a web page may suffice even for those of us still stuck in the 'dial-up'
dark ages.
