Hi,
From the last few months we are trying to deploy LINUX in a remote
school in my area through my LUG. Now we are going for LTSP there. I need a list of probable education tools (for junior students ) available in extras repository. Trying to build a syllabus for them. :)
Regards, Kushal

I would suggest that you look beyond Extras and perhaps at the Education specialised distributions. The reason I make this statement is that a lot of folks have gone through this learning cycle and found that the packages that are 'stock' are not really suited to our/Indian/WestBengal curricula without heavy investment in customisation

Hmm, this can be an idea -- maybe you can consider preparing a Fedora- based Edu Live-CD :) It could be helpful not only for this event -- other Ambassadors could also harness it later ;)

In Brazil we are preparing a live-cd with educational packages. You can find more information with Rodrigo Padula, he can help you.
