And if the OP is using this in a school lab to teach how to 
test/repair/program/???? , then why is it so impossible to install/use 
and let the students test/debug/identify problems.

To me it sounds as if he just wants to vent rather than actually 
providing an opportunity for the students to do something usefull

--NO-- WAIT -- this lab has to be perfect so he does not have to do 
anything to help the students learn ;-)

He just does not want the challenge of keeping up with the bug reports 
and fixes so he can tell if what is found by his student is an old 
bug/new bug/operator error.
