I haven't really followed this thread.
I suppose folks have mentioned how a cross-platform education is more 
likely to turn out computer savvy students, not just Micro$laves.  I 
know people have mentioned security, stability and finance as reasons.
But how about: Just because Linux ROCKS!  and is more fun!
Also, of course, one of my reasons for using it in the classroom is that 
I am in fervent accord with the principles of collaboration, sharing and 
freedom that the OSS community usually embodies, as clearly exhibited on 
this list.  I believe that those values are the ones we need to 
inculcate in our charges so that they can be productive, compassionate 
members of their communities.
