Built on top of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, UberStudent 4.1 “Epicurus” is a customized distribution designed for secondary and post-secondary education. A blurb on the UberStudent website describes the distribution as “Red Hat for education.” I was intrigued by this claim and wondered if some customization on top of Ubuntu could really do for education what Red Hat does for enterprise. So I gave UberStudent a try and was very impressed with what I found.
