This sounds ideal, I am really hoping to get the IT department to just install 
it on the Windows machines at Uni, but I bet they don't.

It will be great for the students to be using free GNU stuff at schools and 
will hopefully encourage some interest in Linux and means that families won't 
have to pirate or spend loads of money so their kids can work at home

Gonna swap the Operating System over to Linux soon?
