Disclaimer: I have no idea how KOffice would cope in an education
environment.

I'm a Sixth Former at the moment, and I'm currently in the school Library,
and typing this on a 486DX4 @ 100MHz, running Win 95. Unfortuantely, the
school are heavy investors in RM crap, and I think
NT4(servers)/Win95(desktops) is used throughout the school :(

The first thing it to forget KOffice 1.0.

KOffice 1.1beta is a *masssive* improvement over KOffice 1.0, and even the
betas are significantly better. Before the final KOffice 1.0 release, there
will be a release candidate and another beta as well.

So basically,  I would download the beta and try it -- it's really good
IMHO. But then I'm slightly biased as I said (I help develop koffice.org
and I'm trying to teach my self C++/Qt/KDE development).

THe release schedule and resources are available on KOffice.org.
