I am going to do everything I can to help them.

Back when I thought LInux was a fad, I tried it out and ended up using it everyday.

Whether I want to edit audio files, create a project plan, write email, surf the web, make a web page, or write some C++ code for grins and giggles - Linux has it all.

Schools will transition at first because of the price, essentially free or nearly so. Some compnaies will charge $30 for a distro maybe, and when you multiply that by hundreds of computers, the savings can be significant and extremenly important to school systems. (compared to maybe a $300 OS)

Provide fledgling scientists, engineers, hackers, composers, artists, authors, and linguists with the tools they need and you will
be witness to something more powerful then you could ever dream of. Fad? No I don't think so. Linux has all the tools, right there under the hood.

Linux on MAC is not a fad, as evidenced by school systems turning to Linux any way they can to escape the high costs of procurement and maintenance for commercial operating systems.

Even the US Navy is embracing Linux (look around the net, there are many articles on this).

The people have spoken.
