THe problem seems to be in finding someone IN the schools willing to try
out LINUX at least. It is of course frequently used as the OS for servers
in schools - the problem is administrators who prefer stability (as they
see it) to savling $ and teachers who are too busy and don't see any real
possibilities for institutional support.
Would be a good experience for your students!
