I just had to clarify something. Maybe I am off my rocker here. But it seems
that I need to clarify something
here. I am not wanting to build this distribution to teach the workings of
Linux or even teach Linux really. What I see our distribution going towards
is to lower budget of licensing and so forth. Yes it would be nice for the
kids to learn Linux as a OS but what I would rather see is Linux being able
to lower the technology budget so that they (School Systems) can spend more
money on there teachers and schools themselves not the computers that power
them.
