Knoppix would be ideal in my view as a desktop taster and has the 
advantage that it is fairly easy to rebuild it to offer the specific 
application mix we wish.

Having a number of workstations available for visitors to a stand to play 
with running a good Linux desktop is easy.

We could, and should, also have a number of server type systems running 
things like school and library management software as well as the usual 
intranet, database and file/print services.

To my mind the important thing would be to present a solution that is 
obviously very easy to manage and meets the needs of UK education users.

We all know that there are lots of schools/colleges that are using Free 
Software solutions including file & print, internal and external email, 
database and other services. Many of us have helped them to implement.
