This would be great, my school is split between Ubuntu and Fedora
(when required to teach Linux). Some teachers push Ubuntu because
it has more market share on the desktop, while others push Fedora
because they teach Red Hat Servers and know that Ubuntu isn't Red
Hat. <br>
<br>
I think if more was done to make Fedora for Schools it could help a
lot. <br>
<br>
I have been in talks with my school to push more open source and am
currently trying to get the Processor Arch teacher to use open
source equipment like the Arduino. I'm converting all the material
we cover on the dragon boards over to Arduino in hopes that future
students can benefit from it. I only mention that because I had to
use windows in that class because the software was only windows
based, and I would like to be able to use Fedora in all my classes.<br>
<br>
I hope this helps give an idea of what's going on in other schools
for anyone that is building such a spin.<br>

Yes, I know Sugar. But, It's very helpful get a Linux distro
with some<br>
software about Educations. Such as Stellarium, Celestia,
LibreOffice<br>
(This is most important Office Suite It's not included on none
Spin<br>
(!) and more...<br>
<br>
Mandriva made a distro for teachers-students. That's allow
create<br>
session to work something together.<br>

Will be very<br>
interesting to bring Fedora into classrooms to avoid uses
Windows as<br>
only choice for everybody. :(<br>
<br>
I think, if Fedora brings to Electricians, robots... would be
very<br>
good make an Educational spin.<br>
