<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.
