Hi Jan,
I'm also very interested in an Edubuntu Linux for universities and
academic use. I hope they will adopt a "meta-package" system allowing
customized versions of Edubuntu, so that you can pick and choose only
what you actually need. Someone mentioned the use of empty packages to
install specific software applications, but I don't know if it's already
in use (haven't had much time to look into it, admittedly).

Ciao
