Cd/school

[Joel Pickett]

The Edubuntu DVD sized image come with a fair few applications, maybe boot
it up at a live CD/USB and show them what (Ed)Ubuntu has to offer. I doubt
they would instantly change over but if they've got some old hardware or
interested students, you might get a few takers.

I'd show them LibreOffice, inkscape/gimp, totem/rhythmbox, etc, basic file
management in nautilus, and simple stuff how to shut down and change
wallpaper.

I think you can get the turtle package that does logo "programming".

Regards,

Joel
