$350 sound quite a lot to me and buying a whole new computer for the

Probably not in Newton, MA. Probably unnecessary, but there will be
plenty of takers.
The Newton resident (Miles) knows whereof he speaks.

I'm also a Newton resident but disagree on requiring a new computer
purchase as prerequisite. Keep it free, accessible, and fun. Will you
spend too much time on installation/configuration?
Lisi Reisz's comments above (Message-ID:

purpose, your audience, your objectives. Kids have computers. If you
have them bring a wifi enabled laptop with PuTTY installed, your first
class can have them ssh to a live system and off you go.
