 BART.

There's not much to see.  We'll probably be around next weekend.  We
usually go to the  Farmer's Market on Sat morning and then do more
food shopping on Sun morning.  Sat and Sun afternoons are probably best.

Sure.  After this weekend, Tuesday afternoons would be best to go there.

Pretty minimal.  Noelle has a 100 Mhz computer and she does web surfing,
e-mail, and listens to realaudio.

I use Debian 3.0R2.  That's my personal favorite.  I've heard good things
about SuSE, however.

Good idea.

Mondays are possible, but may be less ideal.  I'll have to see what my
schedule at Prosearch (where I volunteer for my job seekers support group)
will be.

Thanks.
