At May's PegaSoft dinner meeting, Linux in schools (not universities) was
discussed:

"There has been a significant interest in Linux in schools, particularly in the
UK.  The problem with bringing Linux into schools in Canada is that schools
here have established agendas, hierarchies and large budgets.  There needs to
be spending cuts to education in order to generate interest in Linux.  Schools
in the UK have smaller budgets making Linux more attractive."
