/"According to an article at PC Magazine, Indiana School systems may 
soon be purchasing around 300,000 Linpire desktop computers 
<http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1844695,00.asp>. Linspire, via its 
Education Program <http://www.linspire.com/lindows_esl_info.php> has a 
straight $500-per-school (not per-seat) cost, providing an 
incredibly-alluring price incentive for this to happen."/ From the 
article: /"Many schools across the state have already had the chance to 
try out desktop Linux, and everyone seems excited to get this program 
going...This groundbreaking initiative makes it possible for schools to 
afford computers for every student, something that makes a huge impact 
on their overall educations."/

The story link is http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1844695,00.asp
Linspire is here http://www.linspire.com/lindows_esl_info.php

So each school pays $500 and can install Linspire linux on as many 
machines as the school owns.
