Linux computers for Indiana students
Linspire, Inc. and Wintergreen Systems announced today that Indiana high schools are currently testing desktop Linux machines in school systems across the state as part of a plan to provide every public high school student with a computer. If successful, the plan, called the Indiana Access Program, will provide each high school student in the state with an individual desktop Linux computer for instructional use in each classroom they visit during the day -- meaning a potential 300,000 Linux machines could be deployed over coming years. ... Schools across Indiana that have not yet had a chance to try the Linspire operating system should call or email Linspire at edu@linspire.com for a free evaluation copy.

Not sure how the Indiana Access Program is funded. The computers may be cheaper but that's stil going to be a lot of money.
