There are a number of public access internet sites running on Sun
hardware which have GNU stuff installed.  An account on one of them,
though it would cost you a few bucks a month, would give you the
opportunity to see a working installion first hand.  (Like maybe
Colorado Supernet?)

For that matter, I'll bet you dollars to donuts that there's a machine
right there on the Colorado campus that has working stuff which you
could peek at if you poked around a bit locally.

If you want someone to hold your and for installation, there are people
who will gladly do that - for a fee.  But a lot of us are real busy.
Ask around a bit local first & I'm sure you'll find something useful.
