yes I agree with Nick here, there will be plenty of time for
presentations etc elsetime, see below.

we're not all programming and/or linux experts, certainly not during
the first moments of a conf...?

as above, surely this would naturally come sometime after the sat
presentations?
I'd vote for something like a gentle _hands-on_ introduction to the
main systems in turn, the main emphasis could be getting simple
things running on peoples machines, the more theoretical issues would
be kept for later.
This would mean though some organisation in advance so everyone could
have the appropriate builds on their own machines?... Perhaps some
clear links/instructions on the wiki so we could come prepared? Would
something like this be feasible?

I'd prefer something more structured as above, there are plenty of
performance opps at other times during the conf?
