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.
