[LM_NET] Linux?

[BISHOP WOODS EL SCHOOL <bishop.wds.school@SNET.NET>]

Dear cyber friends: Our new Tech dept head is talking about putting Linux machines 
in our schools and I know nothing about this operating system but based on his 
comments I am worried about what it will do to our ability to use the machines in a 
 productive manner - having students work on individual projects to produce 
powerpoint presentations etc.  If you know anything about how this system works or 
if you have it in your schools or on your home machines I would appreciate your 
opinion.  Thank you
