As others have stated, you can use catalyst to create your own gentoo-derivative OS, thus controlling what software the students are using (hopefully). On most every install of linux, it's fairly simple and routine to downloand and install new software; so assess your goals of keeping them each rigidly on the same install base of whatevery distro you select to use. There are 2 differnt gentoo derivatives I'd suggest: Pentoo, is most excellent for the security minded.
