Ubuntu is Free, you can download it and do whatever you desire with it. Including installing it on servers, school or business desktops or whatever.

If all you need is to write up papers, do online research, and things like that, then it's great. If you want to program in visual basic then it won't really work :)

It depends on what you need in an OS. But for the most part, Ubuntu should suit you find. EdUbuntu (http://edubuntu.org/) will probably suit you even better.

For schools ubuntu will suit all your needs, unless you do VB programming. (Its a windows only programming language made by microsoft).

Edubuntu is specially geared towards schools and the education system though.
