Apple releases free Mac management white paper
An email is being sent from Apple to education customers this morning, offering a free white paper on Mac management. Entitled "Solutions for Systems Management," the paper can be accessed by entering your school's name and zip code on a special web page.It includes solid, basic information on assessment of your school's needs, deployment of a solution and even a solution's typical lifespan. Apple products are featured, of course, like Apple Remote Desktop and Mac OS X Server, but the paper also describes some third-party products like Deep Freeze and K2 Key Auditor and Key Server.
It's certainly not the definitive paper on being a Mac-friendly administrator, but a decent reference. You can find out more about deploying Mac OS X in education contexts from the indispensable Macenterprise and AFP548 sites.

K2 (Sassafras) shouldn't be recommended by anyone, it slows down systems to near inoperable standards.

Yes! Thank you. I was wondering how I was going to get my grubby, non-educational hands on this.

No need to make it difficult to download for educators and IT people (those PC heads for that matter who have noticed MacOSX and secretly want te get up to speed).
