Patrick,
There are a number of examples of k-12 districts that have moved to
Linux as a primary OS , however there is always some MS in the network
it just makes sense considering that lots of education software is
written for it. I doubt that you'll find any post secondary schools that
have adopted an OS on the desktop as a standard at all , considering
that those schools don't pay for most of the computers used by the
students. There are likely some programs that may require Linux to be
used as a means to accomplish some particular task and I'm sure that
some labs are setup with Linux for web research, writing papers or other
generic tasks.

I hope this helps.
