I certainly agree. If we (or rather, the volunteers) have the time, we
can certainly offer to make some of the PCs dual-boot in case some
students want to learn Linux. Just let them know they got nothing to lose
(as long as installation doesn't hose Windows... <g>) With enough
students enthusiasm, they may ask us to make more systems dual-boot, and,
may I dare suggest, make some systems dedicated Linux-only in some
distance future?
