Well, the first thing that you'll need is localization. You need all the text, menus and buttons in hebrew, all the way, up and down, and currently the desktop enviroment who have it is KDE, and you need to use it in KIOSK mode (to make it unmodifiable by users). After this, you'll need to check what can run with stuff like wine (either free wine or Crossover) - stuff like Comfy for kindergardens, and other software which school needs. Then, you'll have the Office question. Open Office right now is not good enough for day to day usage with hebrew docs (and it needs to be translated to hebrew).. The final hurdle is to handle all those kids who use and preffer today the MS way. It's not easy to convince people to switch (specially since the goverment paid for the MS licenses already) Just my thoughts..
