Thats terrific news, Ali, and really impressive.

Can I suggest that you follow it up with a distribution to all
universities in the UK?

The University of Kent in Canterbury, Kent, UK, where I was a student
(aged 67!) until recently don't have a policy for software for students
even though as www.mirrorservices.com, they are one of the largest
repositories of free and open source software in the UK.  I was trying
to get them to adopt Uberstudent as the recommended distribution, as
it's based on Ubuntu, without success (the University of Kent holds
Uberstudent in its mirror).

But perhaps your project will have more success.....?
