Hello Grahame,
	Linux is obviously the OS of choice in your case. Most distributions
contain not only the OS itself but _lots_ of good software for schools.

If you deliver free computers, just deliver them with Linux. It does not
cost you or the recipient. Just download a distribution from the
internet or ask someone who has bought a distribution with documentation
for less than 100€. He will give you a copy of the distribution for
free and he will do this without any legal complication.

Best whishes
Karl
