Introduction and questions

I'll not repeat any of the comments I have read. They are ALL good, solid, recommendations and suggestions. Having spent a long period of time in the computing industry I would recommend Linux Lite be your one and only distro of choice. I say this for a couple of reasons. One, it will make your job as administrator much easier. No need to learn 2 or 3 distros if you don't need to. Lite will run well on older, slower computers and will run extremely well on any newer, more powerful computers you happen to obtain. Secondly, the students will be able to share in their knowledge of the system which will only lessen problems for them AND for you. Kids learn quickly and are apt to share their new found knowledge with their peers. As their knowledge of Linux Lite climbs, your problems as administrator should start to reduce.
