Nice idea but hard to do. If this is possible , fedora and opensuse would have 
done it before ubuntu. There is OpenSource Day or Linux Day in schools though 
but this year event is over so we just have to wait. Also how do we get 
Ubuntu CDs to get into the bags or to students? Does anyone work in 
NUS/NTU/SMU ?
