[Year 12 Its] Linux v XP

[Jack Matthews]

You could use a CD bootable version on linux for this puropse if you wanted.

Knopix and SUSE have these types of distributions, that way the kids can 
wreck the OS as much as they want.  You can also mount your Home drive on a 
USB stick which most of student will have these days.
