As a system, we're looking to migrate to SLED in (probably) 2-3 years for our Windows machines. My job function is tech. integration and teacher training, and I'm very interested in beta testing or developing documentation for you. I'm not a programmer, but I can develop web training, documents, and video tutorials.

the worlds best version of LTSP , join us on IRC at #opensuse-kiwi.
Edubuntu has nothing to offer Education customers beyond LTSP . I don't
see any reason for someone to consider it as a viable "vertical"
solution to the education market.
