It's an easy calculation to do: If a school has 100 computers with Pentium 200 and lower, what they need is: - One AMD Athlon 1GHz computer with 1024MB RAM - 10Mbps Ethernet - One Linux CD, value $1 ...and all their computers can suddenly be used to access the latest software. Total hardware and software investments are below $1500 for an entire school. Since many schools use computers run by teachers (at least around here), it's pretty hard to argument against a switch if some teachers know Linux administration, and once they've tried it, they probably won't ever switch back.
