I like this idea - set up a primary school with some linux machines on
their network - 'Give me the child at primary school and I'll give you
tomorrow's purchasing controller/Sysadmin/Programmer'. teach them Linux
early before they get too used to the other OS.

Perhaps we could help some schools recycle their old Macs as Linux
machines? Or their older PC's?

We could use our membership with its knowledge to go into a school and
provide them with some free expertise and convert some of their machines to
Linux (eg any server machine?)

Am I talking through a hole in my head? Or could this be a good idea?

<Flame suit> Happens to mention his kids go to Westburn Primary. Their
resident computer expert (who isn't) has just gone overseas for a year -
No-one else is even as 'computer literate' as I, which isn't much!
(Anyone else with a favourite school? Should we make a list, then work our
way through it, school by school?)
