Edubuntu

After experimenting with several versions of Linux, on and off for the last year, I am sold on Edubuntu. I use Ubuntu 9 on my home desktop and love it. I have no problem with crashes, etc. So, I have been looking for a program to give my old classroom computers a new start. I also wanted a program designed around education. The older computers in my classroom were the older PCs which originally used Windows 98. Most were starting to fail. I was determined to find a Open Source OS that focused on Education that would also work on these computers. I originally tried Edubuntu but used the latest version. It would not load. However, when I researched and found a few schools were successfully using the older version Edubuntu 6.0, I decided to give it a try. IT WORKED!!! I downloaded a version that would fit on a CD and followed the steps included. I chose to erase the hard drive and load Edubuntu from scratch. I will give you a follow-up soon. Right now, I'm using seven 386 PCs with Edubuntu 6.0 and they are running like new. Plus, with Windows 98, they originally would not recognize the USB drive without an individualized driver for each one. NOW, each of the newly formatted PCs are finding the USB flash drives with no additional software needed. I'm thrilled. Will update you with more information soon.
