On the one hand, they can use the PS3 to do their homework (with LyX,
barebones LaTeX, or OpenOffice which is preinstalled). Then again, they'd
have the world's biggest distraction... a Cell processor running the most
cutting-edge games that are available on the market.
See, that's the problem with Linux: games. Too many of them to permit you to
do some /real/ work.
Best wishes,
Roy
