Hey!
I am familiar with Windows Operating Systems as well as Linux Operating System. I know Linux comes in different distributions for special purposes. I want to know that are there any distributions designed for Education purposes? I would like to know about it. I have a friend who needs it for his younger brother...! Any information would be helpful..! Thanks

Hey!
