Hi Rob Tuxedu primary would definately be good for a surestart centre - it is ment to be run live and you will not be able to access the internet or any files on the computer while you are using it - so you can safely let small children explore - you might want to load lubuntu or ubuntu as the main OS for adults with full funtionality and have Tuxedu as the option for when children use them. As I said it's still being developed but should be ready fairly soon and once it is i'll let you know. We are developing it so that it can be shared and we will also make documentation we create for tuxedu and for the schools project generally available for everyone to share - we are hoping it will be a straightforward way to get children and teachers involved with and confident about using open source and moving away from completely windows based systems.
