Hi,

there is a similar project underway on sourceforge. The goal is a GPL'ed Darwin
distribution for scientific (biologists, chemicans, physics, mathematicans)
students/researchers to install out of the box (if I understood it right...). 

Take a look at:
http://gnu-darwin.sourceforge.net/

For fruther questions you can contact me off list because I'm interested :) 
I started building the networks for administration and pupil with Novell
Netware 3.12 and Windows NT some years ago at my school as a pupil.
Now they switched recently to Linux ... have to change that :)

Hope that helps

Marc
