"In an age where Windows and OS X reign supreme, it's no wonder that a local AISD middle school teacher became enraged after discovering one of her students distributing what she believed to be bootlegged copies of an operating system in class http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/ignorant-teacher-linux-in-education.html."

This is absolutely classic... I ran an Ubuntu Live CD during an IT lesson one time, got into similar trouble for a little while till I got a chance to explain what I was actually up to. I gave my IT teacher some live CDs for which he was very grateful.
Some of the comments on that post and the posts it links to are really good.

This is comedy gold. Perhaps we should all contact Microsoft and they will give us free copies of Windows 98 to distribute!
