OOps I misquoted.

Novell is helping schools across the state deploy computers built into 
student desks, starting with 1,600 desktops based on Intel® platforms this 
fall and eventually providing a Linux® computer for every student in every 
high school in the state.

I think this means a computer built into *every* desk, not that every 
student will literally *have* their own notebook.
