LIES!
I refuse to belief this! I know actually a fair amount of friends who are beginning to use Ubuntu from windows. Although Ubuntu is not the be all and end all of linux (I run Arch), I think the userbase is growing.
or at least I hope It is...
Being one of these students, I know that even in high school they required one of these expensive calculators (specifically TI-83/84). I think you will find most of your students already posses those calculators and those that don't will eventually need one.
(even though the TI calculators are extremely overpriced, they are really the only way to go... about $100)
I could also see using a dictionary, but an iPod touch or iPhone?! if you've got wifi, they will be all over the internet, Any information they want, they can get... not really the point of the test is it?
Go with Cicso Packet Tracer. As someone pointed out It isn't open source, but there is a linux version. Its most recent version is high quality and extremely functional. When I studied for my CCNA, I used this software alot because in certain cases it provided the same learning without the hassle of physical equipment. oh yea, the most important thing is that it is free.
yea, It has always been like that. I tried this a year or so ago and i could find tank man pictures... with a little digging. It might also have more restrictive filtering if you have a china IP address.
come on Google... make us proud and PULL OUT
Personally, I disagree. Flash works flawlessly on chrome. More features can be added later, you have to remember it is a beta. finally, as a person who had compiled Chrome OS, It works great. My only problem with it is lack of wireless card support, but once again BETA.

The policy is that they will release all data. Whether or not they follow through is the question....

Will we see linux support? I would assume so because they are using OpenGL instead of DirectX...

I have used Several IDEs in a seach for a perfect one. Plain text like vi or gedit is fine, but at the moment I am likeing Code:Blocks
