As i said in my earlier reply. Its not a matter of the

computer knowledge. Its a matter of "freedom". People just hate rules
especially when they are enforced :)
In computers, the seriousness of the user depends on whether he/she is
the owner and how much data is at stake. College students would only be
interested in using the pc the easiest way. Their data is not
business like which would make them suffer heavy economic losses, if
compromised. Even if their email is stolen, they will simply create a
new id and start using it. Installing windows software comes easy to
them and the equipment too is designed for easy windows driver setup.
A good option would be to have a small but dedicated room/lab for linux
only and only those genuinely interested come to use it. Let the rest
use windows. Another option is to have dual booting and let the user
choose as per individual choice. Only buffet, no fighting. :)
