the edubuntu CD itself will be targeted at classroom use (it will
install a ltsp server out of the box etc.) but ubuntu will have a
edubuntu-desktop package that will (like ubuntu-desktop) depend on all
apps we selected for the educational desktop. so my advise for home use
would be, install ubuntu at home and edubuntu-desktop on top. so you
will have the full set of edubuntu apps [1].
