A NYC computer newszine columnist recently wrote about how hundreds of thousands of CD-ROMs of Linux have been sold but he doesn't know a single person who owns one. Well, he's a Windows.X hack anyway. All the same, now that my school district finally has a network in place I've been trying to convince my fellow computer teachers that we need to take one of our rebuilt machines (out of all the castaways that "broke" in classrooms), install Linux, and give the school a server where the teachers and students could have their own file directories, etc. The biggest impediment, though, is not the lack of interest of my colleagues but the complete buttheadedness of the yokels running the IT department for the school system.
