I would not say that compiling is at all harder than rpm's. When I started using Linux I had never really used a CL. When I decided to learn it I put it on a box and started. My friend told me about tar to unpack the archive and said look at the README and that;s it. I really haven't found anything that can't be taken care of by that, and most of the time a./configure && make && make install is as easy as rpm -i.
American Express was the first to do this I think. They have an option called private payments where you go to their site and get a number for one time use.

My sister is attending a university that makes a laptop part of the tuition so kids can include it in their educational loans and everyone has wireless access anywhere on campus. It is supposed to be a really nice set-up.
I would have to say that the trademark on an open source product would still be a valid trademark. For example companies like Red Hat that are actually making money off of an open source product and their trademark has definate value there that they want to defend to help them continue making money.
It wouldn't cost much of anything to train anyone but the tech staff. How many teachers install the OS on their machine now? Working for a school district while I go to school I can say safely that none of them do. All they would need would be for the tech dept. to set up the PC up where one icon is for the net, email, and other applications and they would be fine for the most part.

Does anyone know if they include a kernel with apm? I would love to have that for my ibook.
