[GLLUG] educational lesson plan software

[Benjamin Cathey]

Geez - I know edubuntu fills some of this with it's good package selection and it is a client server setup where you can monitor the progress of students (it's a thin-client model)

There are MANY options really that I have seen.  I can't remember all of them off hand.  What is your distro?  I know the "Education" area in debian or ubuntu has quite a bit in it but most of it needs to be tailored to your specific tasks (although it sounds as if you don't mind this.)

Just my thoughts
