    Desktop? School server? Programming tutition? Educational settop box? Internet box? University level or under 10year olds?
    'Education' can mean so many different things... I don't mean this as a troll, but I hope they realise that mere mortals can not use Debian as it is. It'll have to be made alot easier before it can be used in non-techy educational environments. Maybe something like http://www.bluelinux.org.

    BlueEDU is building a Linux Distribution only for the school systems. It will not be sold only distributed to schools. They are pushing to move Linux into the classroom by making it easier to use for people ages 5+ they can really use your help with donations to allow them to go pick up cheap old hardware (like the schools have) in order to fully test the distribution before they distribute it Check here for more information

    OpenSourceSchools.org is very informative. Lots of good information reguarding the use of and the software avaliable to others. They are a good resource, Schoolforge.net will be a great place also to find information on the use of Open Source Software in the school systems. There are many great sites for educational software even RedHat has an educational focus. Blue Linux is building a BlueEDU Distribution only for the purpose of Linux in the educational district.
