Education can be found the source of many solutions. Maybe aproaching
such schools and offering them help with setting up Linux-based classes
will be beneficial to both parties - the schools get lower cost of ownership
(should probably be shown very good return on investment (ROI) in order to
interst them) and can brag about teaching people more useful stuff, and we
Linux crowd get:
1. More people who are aware of portability issues.
2. More potential Linux users.
3. More potential Linux advocates.
