i would also like to try a liveCD version of edubuntu, but not to decide if
linux is a good idea, but rather to see what edubuntu has to offer and to
provide any feedback on problems i encounter.

there was also some discussion of providing the ability to install on part
of the entire distribution (ie, you could install only the software relevant
to your school), for which i would like to express my support. i plan on
using edubuntu in an LTSP-type environment, so i only need to install a thin
client on most machines - but even the server will only need certain
applications. obviously some packages need to be installed without question,
but it would be nice to choose which of the education-specific packages to
install.
