<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi.<BR>
<BR>
Here at University of Andorra we had some problems getting the authorization to install Linux in just one of the labs. We installed Ubuntu.<BR>
<BR>
Six months later, user feedback made it possible to convert all but one of them to Ubuntu.<BR>
<BR>
It should be mentionned that our kids, like yours, are average barely-out-of-highschool, and that computer litteracy depends a whole lot on which school thay have attented previously - and on home income. Even a 500 Euro laptop an be a big strain on some people's economies.<BR>
<BR>
Several of our nursing students have gone straight from zero to KDE *without* getting lost in the murky wilderness of Windows. No pain. ;-)<BR>
