In most engg. colleges, the choice of distro is mainly decided by sys. admins / lab assistants (their most preferred choice is RedHat/Fedora). As I remember, the above question is already addressed in one of the threads in ilugc. As I tried creating a kickstart for Ubuntu and requested for help, nobody in the list replied to that mail (Most often what i get is, only free advice and not any serious help for my requests in supporting the initiative) I spend only limited time in colleges (i have to start the foss lab setup as early by 9.30 a.m. and complete by 4.30 - 5.00 pm for nearly 60 computers installed with 4524 rpm packages). In fact, many of the colleges who already have RedHat/Ubuntu linux, requested me to remove the existing installation and asked me to install fedora, as they have all the required applications right after the installation.
