Blue Linux

I browsed their website and information is a little sparse so far.  The list 
of packages looks like a stripped-down Linux distribution - few educational 
packages are included so far.

But I think the important issues are the dedication to including educational 
software packages and the committment expressed to the GPL.  Indeed, I think 
a standardized Linux distribution will greatly benefit both the school 
administrations who make the decisions about which sortware to run in their 
schools and admin buildings and the support organizations who try to convince 
those administrators about the value, security, and supportability of this 
kind of software, compared to the usual and customary proprietary systems.
