Hi both!Sounds like a great start to me.  I find that for those people who don't want to/don't feel able to  make the leap to Ubuntu, Windows Free/Open Source is a good way to get them involved and let them see the benefits of FOSS for themselves!  Take a look at theopencd.org - maybe you're able

Yes, it worked :PI know the feeling, I'm in yr10 at a school in Warrington, NW, and I'm trying to convert people too.
