Re: [Fwd: Re: [school-discuss] Which is the fastest Desktop distro for schools?]



I tried Red Flag Linux 4.0. Seems to be the Win2000 clone ;-) for desktop. All 
configurations can be done using GUI and user is (probably) not required to 
use console at all.
  
Very easy to make people migrate. The Redfag Linux has been created by China 
(I guess, to standardise linux for use on desktops in China).

I want a CD of skolelinux/debian-edu. How can i get it? not possible to 
download.

Any help will be gratefully accepted.
