I agree with Marc. We plan to use dual boot XOs in a similar way at RK  
College in Fatehpur Distt., UP.

As it is, the XO  doesn't fit in any Indian curriculum, so there is no
need to have one  computer for each child and the best way to use it,
at least in India, is  in computer labs. That is what we do in
Saint-Anthony School. However,  there is a sticker with a number on
each machine and one child is always  using the same machine. Times to
times, children are also allowed to take  the machine home overnight.
Before reacting stupidly ("violation of the  project's fundamental
principle" !), I would suggest you become more aware  of the local
realities  !
