Thanks for the kind words!
The paper has already been translated into Spanish, and just now
someone asked permission to translate it into hindi, telugu, and
tamil!

BTW I gave a talk on this subject at the Southern California Linux Expo
last week; the slides and streaming video are up at http://www.kegel.com/linux/edu

I'm following up by hosting a round table discussion on the
12th in Los Angeles with the Red Hat road trip crew and a bunch
of local univerity sysadmins.  Details at http://www.lalugs.org/roundtable.html
My goal with the roundtable is to achieve some consensus on
what it will take to make Linux irresistable to universities.

It's a very exciting time to be a Linux advocate - lots of good news.
