hey roberto, like the other post said, really, i don't know how much of a chance you have for convincing them. that doesn't mean it isn't worth a shot though. i think your best bet is downloading and burning a knoppix iso, and when they get their new shiny computer, put it in and see what they think. it's effectively an entire debian system running off of cd (so they you don't endanger their dear, dear MS stuff), and if they like it, it's a rather painless install off of cd onto the hard drive. sean
