yup. or even a freesbie cd to drop into a computer and "sanitize" it with
useful kiddie stuff :) time to learn how to modify freesbie (and upgrade it to
6.x too... )

I don't know of any. You could do a minimal install, install X + WM of
choice (probably one that dosn't add games), and thend add the
educational and math/sci related packages in ports? I think the
directories they are in are relatively limited, and so finding them
shouldn't be too hard.
