Debian-edu/Skolelinux got among other things office suite, web browser and email reader. What more is needed? I believe you forgot a few things which we find important in skolelinux - Networked printer solution - Mail server - Backup system - Machine and service monitoring and trend reporting system - Synchrnoised clocks Also, I would recommend having a look at thin client solutions. They make system administraton a lot easier. Skolelinux/Debian-Edu provides LTSP working out of the box, both for thin clients and diskless workstations.
