My 2 more cents. Talk to your lab technician or responsible authority and install linux on one computer to start with him. Your goal should be to impress/woo him rather than showing signatures to an HoD. If you can convince your lab techie, I am sure you can coordinate with him and have dual boot on most/all systems. I think this is a more pragmatic approach. Don't give him any bullshit about greatness of linux and open source to start with. Personal experience says that telling others that your OS is better turns their interest off because you are telling them that what they have used so far is bad. Be diplomatic. Call it an experiment or whatever. Tell him that you want to learn using linux or whatever. Let him discover the benefits AFTER you have crossed the first hurdle of installing linux on one computer.
