I would like to see the same comparison on other GNOME based distros before I make any judgement.
Is Debian Lenny slower than Etch?
Is Fedora 10 slower than Fedora 8?
Is OpenSUSE.... oh, wait!
Or should that be IE7 = Vista of browsers?
Prettier interface, annoying changes to the menus/toolbars, took years to be released and offers minor improvements over the previous version.
Anyone looking for decent Typing Tutor software should take a look at Ten Thumbs Typing Tutor http://www.tenthumbstypingtutor.com/. It will run on Windows, Mac OS X, Classic Mac, Linux and if you must, it even runs on Vista. It's not free, but the support is excellent. KTouch is good, but primary age children will be bored easily.
I recommend anyone who wants to try linux in a primary school, dual boot their existing Windows with one of the buntus and use as much of the same open source software as possible on Windows. You will find that the children will spend more time in Linux than Windows.
At the school I work in, the children love applications like Tuxpaint, Gcompris, Childsplay, Celestia, Scratch and Google Earth.
IMHO Ubuntu (and possibly SUSE) has now reached the stage where it is a viable replacement for Windows in nursery and primary schools.
It is just a case of letting people know that alternatives exist.

It would have been Windows 6 if they hadn't lost their Battlestar Galactica DVDs.
If Sugar is child friendly, to whom is Windows friendly towards?
Anyone with enough money to satisfy the greed of Microsoft's board members.
Ubuntu 9.04 shows little improvement on 8.10. In the current state of the development, Windows 7 is Vista!
Yes.
Which year was that?
Who's going to join the BOINC project?
Where on the Isle of Man will I find a Jackalope?
Is this Microsoft's new business model?

This sounds like the work of General Blight.
80%?? Did Microsoft tell you that or do you think it's 1998?
