Creating Sharepoint templates in MOSS or Sharepoint 2.0 for 20 sit

I was asked to create TeamSites for Different Cities on Sharepoint 2.0. I
have MOSS.

What I have to do is create 20 sites for different cities, each TeamSite has
its own address:

https://Sites.Demo.com/Sites/Customer Serivce/LA/defaut.aspx

https://Sites.Demo.com/Sites/Customer Serivce/NY/defaut.aspx

ETC.

I need to create a Template with all of the links for each city in the Side
List and
display information and links in the body of the page, alon with a Shared
Files Folder and many other links that are on the main computer of each city.

Is there a way to create a template that will have my links so all I have to
do is deploy the template and hand it off to a lay person for them to use.

Is it possible to create the site using MOSS or do I have to use Sharepoint
2.0

Please Help
