One word and that is it: UBUNTU.
http://ubuntulinux.org
Go look, order CDs for your classes from
http://shipit.ubuntulinux.org
They are shipping FREE slick retail sleeves, with display box if you
order enough. They have i386 with both LiveCD and InstallCD. They have
PPC CDs (only installCD) and EMT64/AMD64(nocona-opteron) CDS (only
InstallCD).
So go get'em tiger. I am by far truly impressed with Ubuntu. Every
person I have given it to has been able to install it easily and is very
friendly.
Ubuntu: Linux for humans.
While not truly Debian... it is as close as you can get to bleeding edge
and stability with a looking forward upgrade path every 6 months if you
want. These upgrade coincide with GNOME's stable releases, every 6
months.
Currently v4.1 Warty Warthog is truly awesome. Hoary Hedgehog is already
in development.
