I work at a local school running almost entirely linux. We are using the 
package created by the k12ltsp.org project. Over the summer we will be 
upgrading to the latest and greatest stable k12ltsp, and we will be 
making a few changes in our network configuration. Gosh, I need to 
check, but I think this is our fifth school year running k12ltsp -- can 
that be?

There is still a great need for open source educational software -- it 
is difficult to find mainstream curriculum using open source, teachers 
always come in with ideas for windows software wanting to run it on our 
network.
