install cygwin and do admin over ssh. most administration tasks can be done from console. With a bash shell, ssh, some basic unix utils, and your favorite scripting language (python) admining a windows box isn't half bad.
the open source education foundation is probably the most successful foundation at putting open source software in schools. Our co-founder, Harry McGregor, is a keynote at this year's LinuxWorld. I highly recomend looking at our site, and/or contacting us if you are interested.

I am a sr unix systems administrator for a department at the University of Arizona. I was an incoming freshman when i was hired, with only a high school education (no certs). I beat out a couple of coumputer engineering grad students for the position. What I did was I started out with linux at a young age around 7th grade. I worked on a couple of open source projects, and developed a couple of my own to get more experience. I also got involved in my local lug (tfug.org) to make some connections with other unix people. I also got involved with a nonprofit org that used linux in schools (osef.org) where i got more experience and letters of recomendation. The summer of my sr. year of highschool i started to email all the unix people i knew that worked at the university and started to pass out my resume to whoever was interested. It is hard to find kids that have a strong background/intrest in unix coming into the universities so within about a week of giving my resume to a sysadmin for the engineering college i had two job offers. one for jr unix sys admin and a sr position.
