As I wrote in the previous email,

the ideal distro should basically be as easy to manage as the current
win2k machines

-preferably all-GUI access to controls/admin/setup tools (no shell
necessary for anything)
-installing whole images an option _and_ fairly easy to do (burn CD or
graphically-controlled network install
-an autoupdate/upgrade function, something completely automatic, _no_
user input required (after the system is initially set up)
-easy to use for everyday tasks
-included software a bonus (ie the mdk developer software)

I guess the system should be as close to what win2k is for the schools
right now, but without the (in)security problems and occasional
crashes.

by the way, there was a pretty cool project on sourceforge, OpenAdmin
(now in 1.5 and used by a few schools in thte prairie provinces) for
administrating whole schools, marks, attendance, etc.

thanks to everyone

Igor
