[vox] Need to make educational Ubuntu build

If possible, I suggest cutting out the excess stuff that comes with
Edubuntu.  There is a lot of software that I doubt would be suitable for a
pre-school (such as Dia or kalgebra).  Talk to the administrative staff of
the pre-school to determine exactly which applications they would want.

Also, be aware that WINE isn't perfect.  Some educational games will likely
be incompatible.  I've had issues trying to install Math Blaster on an
Ubuntu computer for my little sister.  Although, that was a year or so ago.
 Maybe it'll be better now.
