If someone could get a push for Ubuntu running machines in schools in place of overpriced macs or just unreliable xp boxes that would expose people at a younger age and get more kids interested in open source.

They are. Ubuntu sponsors groups, called LoCo Group. i.e.Ga.LoCo. That go around to schools and school districts, they attend conventions and job fairs, etc. And they are making headway.

Just google LoCo to find yours.
