Precisely!  Most teachers are still Micro$oft centric and don't probably know
what is Linux and the Open Source Software.

That would be great.  But the problem I expect is that, would the
Dean/Principal/Admin of the schools we are planning to visit allow us to conduct
this kind of project?  I expect most of them are very closed minded to Micro$oft
just like most of us who are also closed minded to Linux.
