I know school software , most of it. I am not familiar from experiencial working with CTCnet communities as to what people install on computers that are likely not to be internet connected.
I am aware that there is lots of great free stuff on the Internet, but the concern is that the people may not keep up the Internet connection. I have been limited to the cost of $40.00 .. The idea being that it has to be affordable. Phil has suggested to me that there are wholesale discounters, and I see the copies of educational software for schools, that sell for a lot for very low prices in the stores. If you had a list of software, or things you would download to the computers before giving them away, please advise so I can investigate. A teacher's perspective on what is an attractive and well used program might be different than what people really use in their homes. Unless the list would find it interesting to explore this topic, ( like what will be on low cost computers) or should be, you can send the email directly to me, if you think that is more appropiate.
