The first question to ask is "What does the school expect the students to 
be able to do with the computers?". What types of programs does the school 
want to provide for the students to use? As long as they don't expect to be 
running commercial apps for which there is no Linux equivalent you should 
be ok.

11. The use of Linux on the machines should also limit the use of the 
machines as "game consoles". Students won't be able to install the latest 
Windows-based game program so the machines will be used for more productive 
activities.


Cheers!
