Now I'd love to get involved in creating a 'generic' turnkey Linux
configuration or sub-distro aimed squarely at the needs of schools.

Ah yes, but we are talking schools here  ...strictly higherarchical
...seniority based on length-of-service rather than merit   ...secure job
for life, provided of course you don't sleep with a pupil   ...if your
school fails we'll simply throw more money at it, or better still re-clasify
failure as 'normal'...

Yes there are many great teachers out there, however in my experience the
higher they climb the management higherarch the more idiotic they seem to
get!
