Edgy+1: Edubuntu for Secondary Schools & Edubuntu for Universities

[Simon Ruiz]

Right on, I appreciate that information.
 
Of course, our deployment of Ubuntu is still strictly in Language Arts (English for English speakers) classrooms at the moment, but I find it both personally interesting and reassuring as I look towards the future and the possibility of our Ubuntu deployment creeping out into the rest of the school.
 
Thanks!
 
Simón

I imagine one could. Should just be a collection of individual packages in
the end. I would use it as a resource to decide on what you need and how to
set it up.

I'm not aware of any but image there should.
One could, arguably, use some clever formatting in OpenOffice.org to achieve
the desired result...
