This is a very good Idea but I would ask my self some very import question before I thought about which way to go.
The IDEA and Goals
1. What are you trying to do and what does the Teacher or Teachers Expect or would like to see as the outcome. in to other words what kind of lessons or teaching will they be trying to achive on the system.
2. How much space is in the Class Room or Lab where these computer are going to be going.
3. Will have have an active internet Connection or not? Do the Old Win95 machines have Nic cards in them?
4. What do they have in place already. A good standerd is always a good thing. not saying that the standerd is the right choice but at lease there all the same.
5. Will the be required to print of the system if so where and how do they print?
6. who will be using the PC students teachers staff ?
Just one thought to mention as well. Not everyone knows how to use linux so what ever you put in place it must be easy for who ever to keep up in the event of something happing other wize it will be more of a headache than it's work or in the end they will have a bunch of old computer that they cant use. I like Linux and think it's a great OS but I also know users.
Slashdot Mirror

I Belive that you could have got your point across with out all of that there was no need.
