[K12OSN] Linux cut off

Well I just found out that the board I work at has decided to cut off 
all Linux initiatives.  The one LTSP that is in an elementary school 
will stay.

I wonder what they would say if they found out that the two high schools 
that have Macs which have OSX which are based on Linux?

I'm very disappointed and sad by this decision.  I'm not going to give 
up on Linux or Open Source.

I also found out that the trustee in the area has children that go to 
the same school that the LTSP is in.  He is aware of Linux and perhaps 
it's time that he has a little tour of the mini-lab with LTSP.

Show him how well it works, cost effective etc and oh by the way the 
board has cancelled other Linux mini-labs.

I was to setup Linux on the old servers (replaced with new Server 2003 
machines) with Squid for proxy services.  Looks like that is cancelled 
already.
