Hmm....why would the teachers want to move to Fedora ? Should that not
cause a whole lot of pain for the SysAdmins, Teachers and of course the
students in terms of learning new things and maintaining the system ?

:)

That said - you could begin by doing the following:

o List out the everyday tasks/regular tasks that the OS environment is
supposed to perform
o What are the various services that are being provided
o How do the various users - students, teachers use the OS environment

- From thereon, the way forward would be to provide a small setup where
all the above things can be demonstrated with ease. This would require
the buy-in of some teachers and students (since you cannot take care of
the systems 24x7)
