open source/linux/computer stuff

Some ideas i have for a project is convincing my school to switch to using Linux or at least using open source software instead of things like Microsoft office and Adobe stuff. so today I was looking at different virtual machines for Linux. I was trying to look at Parallels Workstation but their site is blocked, i was looking at it because I heard of Parallels for Mac from people who use Mac OSX.
