I also feel, it will be more appropriate to use Linux. You can cover
installtion for both MS windows and Linux, and can have hand on
session on Linux. If we use Emacs editor, then there is hardly any
difference which operating system is being used as for as working in
LaTeX is concerned.
In fact, LaTeX installtion is installtion of Linux. As LaTeX come with
all most all distribution, and installtion of Linux today is inserting
CD in PC, changing CDs on prompt and enjoying coffee.
With regards,
