I am not sure how this will be presented.  However, when I used xpdf to
review the document, the code examples were "washed" out.  I could see
the code samples better, once I viewed the file at 200%.  My monitor
settings are 1280 by 1024.  That setting may highlight a problem your
presentation hall viewers will have.  I would suggest using a bold fix
text font for those sections of the document.  Perhaps a font size
adjustment would also help, if you can still fit you code segments on
the same page.

Your title says "Tips and Tricks".  I don't get to hear you present so
much of the "glue presentation" is missing for me as I review the
document.  When I blitzed through the document the first time, I was
wondering what the difference between the main part and the appendices?
 That comes from a programmer looking at another alphabetic api looking
document.  With that being said, how can you set off your tip and trick
sections so that I can focus on these?

This may be an audience question for you.  For people that have clicked
themselves through several server installations, finding out about
anaconda is a major tip.  If you're going for the newbie crowd, then you
may have hit the mark.  If you're going for the advanced crowd, then
covering more of the struggles that you see on the kickstart list would
be helpful.  At what level do your tips and tricks hit home?

Since you are talking about imaging hard drives, is stateless linux
worth putting in too http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StatelessLinux  or
are these technologies that you have used?

It is nice that B of A supports your efforts.  Tell 'em thanks.

HTH,
Greg
