adding packages to *ubuntu* after installation, is trivial and part |
| 11 |
of normal system maintenance. As others have stated, you can use |
| 12 |
catalyst to create your own gentoo-derivative OS, thus controlling |
| 13 |
what software the students are using (hopefully). On most every |
| 14 |
install of linux, it's fairly simple and routine to downloand and |
| 15 |
install new software; so assess your goals of keeping them each |
| 16 |
rigidly on the same install base of whatevery distro you select to use. |

There are 2 differnt gentoo derivatives I'd suggest: |

|
| 22 |
Pentoo, is most excellent for the security minded. (weak on community |
| 23 |
support)..... |
