If you're promoting a product, the least you can do is give the objective features of the product and provide some (again objective) reasons why someone should use that product. "Install it and see" is hardly a way to get people to use the OS.
I'd expect to see at least the following:
- Feature list
See are trying into this area. Support of Linux distro is one required in India. SchoolOS will be covered. automatically.
How? via Ubuntu updates? While using a LiveCD/DVD it may not be a concern, it definitely is for an installed base.
Support means, Vendor based support for installation and troubleshooting.
And who is that vendor - SchoolOS?
If the vendor is the system/network integrator then who will s/he turn to fix the problems?
Most distributions have either paid or community support (mailing list, web forums). I think it would be better to explicitly state what kind of support is available and where to find them; especially when the distro is targeting schools.
Please think through the issue of training and support to increase the viability of the distro.
