I agree with rc-flyer. I am a sysadmin of a high school, by way of teaching history...go figure! I was introduced to Linux 3 years ago and would be absolutely lost without it...BTP Linux offers more to the education arena than any current commercial OS. It's GPL status allows the curious, and genuinely motivated to truely wet their hands in the code. At the current crossroads, Linux is even becoming a viable desktop solution, and as with most multiuser lab settings, the customization of a Linux workstation will walk circles around a buggy NT box (On my net...a PROVEN FACT...winheadz). Garner support from others in your school, inform the uninformed, read slashdot, use freshmeat, even resort to RPMs if you have too, take your vitamins, and know that the days of the Commercial OS are like a declining empire...
