Please note: that cable is available for $10 at Best Buy.

I currently attend a school in manhattan called Trevor Day school, at which, from 5 grade on you are required to have a laptop to attend. So, every day we have 700 kids running aroud with laptops. Because students are required to buy their laptops themselves (yes, its a private school) they dont not have to worry about most of the copies of windows so we have no trouble with licensing fees, even for the servers and teacher computers that they buy. Because everything is windows based it allows for us to use almost any software that has been created for educational purposes. I just have simply not see that many for linux. I'm not saying it doesnt exist but im just wondering if you will actually be able to find what your looking for.
Never the less is that it does take lots of effort on the part of administrators and computer people. Also, we have a dell repair man come once a day to fix things. But it is well worth all of the effort.
We also have online homework boards and a portal. The homework board is done with microsoft class server and the portal was custom made by a company for the school.

It seems like there are too many situations where it wouldnt work to actually be a positive thing. And what happens with blockbuster and netflix?
