Joe,

Did you look at the features of edubuntu?

I have no experience of "yet another distro" ('m not great fan of
Distro dilution as you may know), but certain of its features are
probably an apt-egt away in Ubuntu.

Excitement and danger await your induction to tracer duty! As a tracer,
you must rid the computer networks of slimy, criminal data thieves.
They are tricky and the action gets tough, so watch out! Utilizing all
your skills, you'll either get your man or you'll get burned!
