Our church runs a once a week after school program for the

donate several additional machines. Due to license issues,
they will come without Windows. One of their staff has stated
that Linux Mint would be suited for the "obsolete" hardware
being donated and has volunteered to install it on each of
those machines.
My question:
Is there any reason that a Ubuntu version Mint would be any
more suitable than a custom install of Debian - especially as
there is a choice of kernels?
Question is vague, to a degree intentionally. Where/what
should I be reading?
Don't know the answer to your question but have you considered
using those PCs as disk-less X terminals using LTSP or similar ?
That might be easier to admin.
No.
If I suggested it I would be saying I could put it together and
keep it working.
I don't have the required background.
Physically connecting the network would be "interesting" - as in
old Chinese curse "May you live in interesting times."
