Edubuntu
From DocForge
Edubuntu is a fork of Ubuntu which places special emphasis on default settings optimized for deployment in schools.
"Ubuntu" is an ancient African word, meaning "humanity to others". The Edubuntu Linux distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to schools, through its customised school environment. The current version of Edubuntu is aimed at classroom use, and future versions of Edubuntu will expand to other educational usage, such as university use.[1]
Edubuntu places an emphasis on strong enforcement of user privileges and on various open-source education-oriented software packages. Edubuntu also has the capability to be used as a client-server system, where thin clients on the network log into the central server via a roaming user profile, allowing a single user to be able to use any machine on the campus and take persistent user data (environment settings, files) with that individual to many different machines.
