There are thoughts of an installer on Freeduc as on Knoppix...

That's a problem of these teachers. The best thing for education is IMO to 
teach pupils using different software and not only software from 1 company 
like it's now.

Same remark as above. There are no reasons to use always the same software 
because software evoluates so fast that the pupils later in a company have to 
learn everything again because they only can work with software X and not 
with software Y (which is newer and used in that company). If you don't teach 
pupils to work with software X version x.x but when you teach them working 
with different software and methods to learn using new software, they 
wouldn't need to learn later everything again...
