Yes and No. Obviously gaming would interest the students, or rather the stall would be a huge hit if u can play quake on a big screen, but home PCs are not only for entertainment. we are talking about basically two types of students here -those who use linux and those who dont leave the linux users, for the other segment(mostly windoze users), they will be looking for an installation which has all or more than an average windoze system- along with games they would also need an office suite- browser-chatprograms- etc More so because a PC is used by most of the family members. he has to make sure that his dad is able to do his pending office work, sis is able to listen to songs and his mom is able to check mails- before he decides to switch. IMHO, Along with gaming, it would be ideal to show a few *normal* systems, running completely on FOSS, which has all the necessory tools that a student and family would need.
