Try freeduc from Ofset (http://www.ofset.org) - this is a Knoppix CD with
loads of school oriented software bundled. Primary schools in particular
think it's the bees knees.

In terms of freebies - are Knoppix CD's a starter - I haven't
partook myself but at a recent meeting one of our LUG members
booted an (untested) laptop straight into a nice modern Linux
distro, with good hardware detection. Very impressive (well much
better than a Woody install - that is for sure).

(Here Linux boots from CD so no install, and access (Windows
release permitting) to the users own files).

Assuming the experience is typical of Knoppix - and people are
made aware of possible issues. Not clear if it is all 100% free,
but what I can make out it is just a Debian based distro, so
definitely introduces the "right kind of GNU/Linux".

Maybe someone with Broadband and a CD write could take a look.
