Let me add (I'm kind of proud of that project) that Lliurex is not just a Linux distro but an integral IT project for primary and secondary schools, with teachers training and support, different classroom configurations (depending on how old the computers are), and so on. That's for sure the main difference with other "regional" distros projects (buble) we had some years ago. The key of its success (I want to think) was to have a more generic approach than just creating a DVD to give on fairs as sadly happened with some of those other projects.
