To just try Edubuntu without needing to make CD's, or any h/w, you could
make virtual PC's.

(Good option for the screwdriver challenged)



It is a bit more involved but basically.



Get the 3 iso files from Edubuntu



Download  and install the free Vmware Server Console s/w to a decent Windows
PC

We used a  5 year old Dell Poweredge 2500 W2K Server  1ghz, 1gb ram

Sort of slow but worked. Amount of ram was fine.



Set up a virtual PC with the CD pointing to the Live Cd iso

One NIC ~ bridged to the physical network



Boot this virtual PC and run the workstation.



Or     Make 2 virtual PC's



On one, point the CD to the install CD and create a server.

(2 NIC's in this virtual pc)

 First to a virtual network

 The other bridged to the physical network



Then make another virtual pc

One NIC to the same virtual network

When it boots it will download and run from the virtual server.
