School network infrastructure

[linuxgirlie]

Thanks for the introduction John.

Basically the first post sums up what we do very well. At the present
moment we are working on version 5.0 of Karoshi which incorporates
Ubuntu and Kubuntu support.
We have never wanted to 're-invent the wheel' by becoming our own distro as:

a) There are plenty of good distro's out there
b) It gives our users choice

But we do see potential with working together with people who are
already providing a Linux educational solution.

If anybody has any queries or questions, or any ideas how we can work
together I would be happy to hear them.

Many Thanks,

Jo
