We could do a FreeBSD install (I suspect that's what you were
hinting at anyways... ;) ), do the 2-floppy-and-network thing if
we have a high-speed internet connection.  I'd personally extend
that into an "install and basically secure" thing, including a
quick trip through the firewall, etc.

On that note, I could do a short presentation on the operation of
a firewall, what kinds of rules you would need for various setups,
etc.  I'm not sure it would fill an hour, but it would at least
provide something for the meeting.

* Firewall theory
* Basic firewall rules
* How to set up different types of firewalls
  * Client firewall (firewall running on your workstation)
  * Server firewall 
  * Dedicated firewall 

Maybe doing some research to find the appropriate Linux commands
for this would allow me to put a firewall on my box at home... ;)
Otherwise you get to see FreeBSD firewall commands! ;)
