Yes, and there are some libraries in New England running Linux thin clients
to provide more seats per $ to the public.

Even better many public libraries are providing wireless access which
increases the number of seats even more.

Boston Public library is one of these and they don't mind when its
accessed from outside their buildings.

Now all we need are $10 laptops for general distribution.  :)
