They have chosen a poor reason to reject Linux.  Focus on other schools.  If
they are hell-bent on EB "because that's what everyone else uses" then they
will move to Linux "because that's what everyone else uses" whenever that
becomes a reality (and by that time, perhaps EB will have their market
they're looking for anyway).

How many schools are rejecting Linux because there's no EB for it, anyway?
