Not sure about in USA/Canada but here in the UK nearly all schools will be
on Active Directory Windows networks so that would be the thing to ensure
was easy to manage.  some will use Ghost or similar imaging tools for local

I haven't been involved with that side of things for some time so it might
be every thing is fully worked out in that respect now.
