ylian1007, a search on "K-12 schools linux" and "schools linux" gave several sites. Here's one that looked pretty good:

Also, you wanted a distro that would be able to use commercial apps. I'm afraid Wine is the only option that works well within linux. It's a Windows emulator, and some distro's do it a little better than others.

If you would search the Inet with the terms "__app__ linux wine" you might be able to determine if it is feasible to run your applications on the linux platform.

Wine
Is
Not
Emulator

Wine translates windows API calls to its linux equivalent.

OK, I just know that's what will show up on Inet searches. Misnomer or no, that is what's referenced.

But, that's correct.
