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: |

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