NewsForge | Switching art students to GNU/Linux

I'm an art professor, and last semester I embarked on an exciting new adventure by erasing Mac OS X from nearly all of the Macintoshes in our digital media lab and installing Ubuntu in its place.

Interesting article, and a good illustration of the relative ease and obvious advantages of replacing commercial software with Linux and open-source, but I kept wondering how this guy's superiors felt about ditching OS X and all those expensive software (Photoshop, etc.) licenses.
