Yeah - keep conveniently forgetting the Numerical issue.

Now that folks are doing an Educational Resource distro (which I think is a 
great idea) - the issue
pretty much goes away, as long as those of us interested try to help  publicize

its availability.

Maybe the only issue that remains down the road is how pre-configured an 
Educational distro
could or should be.
