The trick for Linux is getting it into the repositories

[Peter Alcibiades]

Probably if you cover Ubuntu and Debian that's going to be most of it for
education. 

There's EdUbuntu and a bunch more Ubuntu based ones and Skolelinux aka
Debian Edu and Doudou Linux based on Debian proper.  There is an Arch based
education one, and a variant based on Suse, and one based on Fedora, but if
you cover the Debian and Ubuntu variants first that will probably hit 80% of
the linux education distros.

Debian packages have a maintainer who gets it into the next release, which
is very long, so the sooner the better for that.  Ubuntu is a lot faster
moving.

I'm really pleased.  Its the best news for the Linux flavor that one could
possibly have wanted.  And congratulations to the Rev team for being far
sighted and brave enough to go for it.  It is probably the only way to get
the scale that is available, but it still took courage.
