Comment My $.02 on Linux in schools (Score 1) 288

I'm a student at a high school in Central Pennsylvania, and I set a linux box up for fun in the summer at the school out of a P 166 that the school was throwing out. Since i did that i've gotten much attention and they want me to set up a Linux based mail server for them, which i am in the process of doing. While i was in computer science class we got on the topic of Linux for about 5 seconds, all the kids think it's for hacking only, and a few kids who are "hackers" have no clue about anything anyway. I think Linux is great because i have been using it for a few years now, but i don't think the point and clicker teachers of most high schools are ready for it, some of them may have had unix experience but that was a long time ago. I think that linux would be a great class in high school but who would teach it????
