You would never allow linux on your own net?

I feel your pain and sympathize with your plight, but it sounds like a
no-win situation. Sometimes it's better not to force the issue.

IMHO it may be better to provide a favorable mention of linux, some
tantalizing examples, and provide pointers to more info, rather than
giving a weak first impression of linux. What you will have, is a bunch
of microsoft-oriented students who have been inoculated against linux,
by being introduced to a weak strain of it.

Thereafter, when they hear about linux, they will say "ah yes, linux, I
remember - it was some sort of windows program, I forget what it does,
it didn't do much. some sort of unix emulator I think, I'm not sure"
