Linux in Schools

[Nathan England]

Actually as a matter of fact, I believe the CAD teacher, Mr. Maher,
William I believe is still teaching up there.  Though, last I saw him they
were still using 486, 12 megs of ram, and windows 3.1 for all the autocad
lite systems and a few P133 for Autocad R13

So maybe a little Varicad is what they need?  I will have to look him up.
