Sorry Larry, I kind of answered the hardware portion and not the OS portion. Have you looked into Linux4Kids? You could also look at the new release of Knoppix for kids, which I personally enjoy, which requires no real install to the hard drive. If you want to install to hard drive I would suggest Blue Linux http://www.bluelinux.org/ Michael Thompson, President, Founder mthompson@codedfuture.com (727) 459-4270 (mobile) http://www.codedfuture.com A non-profit charitable organization

I'm researching the possibility of Linux for our local school (K-5) and/or library. I'm aware of LTSP and that would definitely have advantages for a larger number of workstations. But I am thinking, at least intially, we will just have one or two linux workstations coexisting with the existing resources. Is there a preferred distribution for a standalone workstation in a school or library setting? What are the hardware requirements? Any help appreciated.
