I missed the beginning of this thread, but I'm in the process of
converting about 200 486's (mainly IBM EduQuests and Dell 466/le's) into
Linux terminals at my high school in Seminole County, FL (Orlando area).

If it works as planned, you might have quite a pool of teachers who will
(hopefully!) have nice things to say about Linux...
