I'd be interested to hear that too especially as I've worked in
educational environments myself. In particular, can you give a good
arguement why schools would want to be running Linux other than "Linux is
better than Microsoft"? I'm not particularly convinced that Linux in
schools and colleges is particularly wise as a short term investment, and
for in the long term I have similar question's to Simon's.
