Linux= a square peg in a round hole.
Anonymous -- 24/02/09
Unless they are planning on becoming programmers Linux is a complete waste

of school is to learn and study. The computer is just another tool to
facilitate that process. Why throw a monkey wrench like Linux into the
students already busy day?
