We were speaking about including alternates to proprietary
OSes in the 8th grade school curriculums. In that context i 
would say that actually teaching *some* practical and usable 
GNU software would be a more practical option than making 
political view points about Free vs OpenSource etc

GNU/Linux being the the most popular carrier of GNU licensed 
and (all any other relaxed or freedom mode licensed) products 
i dont see any other better alternatives too.

What did you have in mind ?
