The reason I was saying Linux would be better I outlined in my post (onsite licensing / legality of reimaging at events). As for interface / ease of use, Ubuntu is pretty simple to use... Regardless the Classmate's going to be running the Dashboard almost all of the time anyway.

We'll find out in a matter of days.

*insert quip at XP's reliability here*
