Edubuntu

Ubuntu is used in primary and secondary schools around the world. It is an excellent education tool. Edubuntu is a officially supported derivative of Ubuntu that is customised for Education use. Detailed information about the Edubuntu project can be found here.

Edubuntu contains a large number of educational applications including GCompris, KDE Edutainment Suite, and Schooltool Calendar. Edubuntu is developed to enable teachers/lecturers with limited technical knowledge and skills to set-up a computer lab, or establish an online learning environment, in an hour or less, and then administer that environment.
GNOME Desktop

A default desktop environment on Edubuntu. It provides file managers, network browsers, menus, and system tools. Edubuntu also provides three different theme set-ups, 'young', for younger users, 'plain' for a clean desktop set-up, and 'default', which is a general purpose theme set-up.
