Mark,
Thanks for the share.
BTW, if you have the Hard Disk Space and RAM, you can encourage your
students still using Windows to experiment by installing linux in
virtual environments (using VirtualBox, VMWare, etc.). This is a very
pain-free way to trying out different distributions (Fedora, Ubuntu,
Linux Mint, etc.) and allowing them to discover the distribution that
best meets their needs/likes.

Yes - my students are using Ubuntu full-time, with Windows 7 running in
Virtualbox.
They love it. I guess almost everyone is sick and tired of viruses and
Windows, but most, if not all students don't know any better (my
students are 17+ years of age), since they have been trained from
Primary One by the Microsoft Ministry Of Education.
Oh well...
Those who have the $$$ have moved on to the MacBook (also a result of
the iPhone halo effect)...
Those who regretted buying PC notebooks with Windows are now game to try
Ubuntu.
