Bah, sue them and get what? Tell them to sell Linux pre-loaded laptops? There are barely any models in the market that do that and those are not the ones that come under Education discounts. He'll only get hackled by the college authorities if he does that. You can find numerous guides on the web for dual booting with OS X (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/) but if you want to use Linux, I don't recommend you get a Mac. The hardware is quite weird and is built to be used with Mac OS. You will have small/big issues that will keep nagging you :-) Instead, get a Windows machine, format and use with Linux.

Even though such statements usually attract flame wars (which I have a lot of interest in ;-), I'll give my opinion here anyway. I've been using OS X for almost a year now (before using Ubuntu for almost 4 years) and I find Ubuntu far easier and fun to use than Mac OS. Even though the UI of Mac OS is quite good, there are other kinks in the OS (and general ones that closed-source OS' usually have) that simply don't exist in Ubuntu or other Linux distros.
