[SWLUG] Suse Studio - education distro

[Paul Connell]

Sort of like Edubuntu (currently have that running in a primary,
not much feedback yet though - they just think it's 'weird
windows'), but for Primary years, and built to be as bulletproof
as possible for Primary school teachers and children.  GCompris
and some other tools like Stellarium, Celestia, basic OpenOffice,
that type of thing (I've also been thinking of building some OS
education software but am not sure where to start).

The one quoted below is OpenSUSE 11.1 (I think), with a simple
base of maths and other games type software - once I have a basic
one done I can get feedback from the school as to what they think
of it and tailor from there.

It is interesting, but there's a bit of a learning curve, I'm currently
building a distro, and am not sure what packages I need to complete it -
a 'bit' more help text would be nice, but it is a beta so...

I'm building one with a base install + education OS software.

There's also a RESTful API to allow you to generate them remotely via
webservices!

Like Edubuntu or one of these

Gnome or KDE or other? Debian- or Fedora- or SUSE-based or other?
What sort of help are you after, package suggestions, driver
includes or dependency issues??
