About the EDU-Nix project:
As stated on the home page, "EDU-Nix project aims to provide U.S. Public Schools with Open-Source alternatives to expensive proprietary software products. The project will consist initially of a redistributable CD that has both a Live CD environment, as well as Windows versions of the office and productivity programs.
