Don't know what this is like.  I haven't tested it.  Might be someone 
out there who wants to have a go.  Based on Ubuntu...

"  UberStudent is a free, user-friendly Linux distribution for 
learning, doing, and teaching academic success at the higher education

redefines what it means to be an operating system for education. At 
core, it is a pedagogically cohesive academic success curriculum 
integrated into an installable, easy-to-use, and full-featured 
learning platform. Learning UberStudent means learning the tasks and 
habits common to academically successful students. Learning 
UberStudent also means learning not only computer literacy, but 
computer fluency.  UberStudent is developed by a professional educator 
who specializes in academic success strategies, post-secondary 
literacy instruction, and educational technology. It has been designed 
around a core academic skills approach to student successâthe research
