There is a piece about Education and Linux and I have completely overlooked this Distribution in the past.
It had two version, version 7 and version 9 available for download.

Poseidon Linux for Scientific Packages
Posted on August 20, 2011
I said I was running out of ideas for Linux newbies, a little premature and within 24 hours I have to post this on Poseidon Linux.
I also said that I may concentrate on academic activities.
This is about Poseidon Linux latest version and about scientific packages including statistics and gplot.
This is Ubuntu based distribution ans has all the scientific packages one may use in K12 level.
It has Scribus, Blender, Inkscape and OpenOffice and it will be handy on a school setup.
Few thinks it lacks is Skype, gparted and games which can easily be downloaded if one needs them.
This will fit in nicely in a school environment.
Only problem with it is, it does not have a torrent file and my download from point to point broke down twice and the third time I was lucky and it took over one day(night) of downloading.
I hope the guys and girls in Poseidon will sort that out soon.

NOTE: Since Poseidon 5 (2010) we have a new direction for the project and focused only on Bathymetry, Seafloor Mapping and GIS software. The main software are MB-System, GMT and some GIS packages. Poseidon 4 or earlier versions are now history.
Poseidon (GNU/)Linux was designed as a friendly and complete desktop, based on open source software and aimed at the international scientific community (students, technicians, professors, researchers). This operating system is based on Ubuntu (previously in Kurumin/Knoppix) and inspired by Quantian Linux. It offers several specific tools in the areas of Bathymetry, Seafloor Mapping, GIS and 3D Visualization.
Since Poseidon Linux 3.0 we started a new era for our project, this new release is based on Ubuntu LTS (Long Term Support) it can be easily installed in any language supported by Ubuntu. The previous versions (1.3, 1.5, 2.0), based on Kurumin (a Brazilian Portuguese distribution based on Knoppix), were Pt_Br, only.
Version 4.0 was launched in 2010. Both 32 bits and 64 bits versions were released. This release was based on the Long Term Support (LTS) Ubuntu 10.04 (with 3 years of updates guaranteed by Canonical), since our goals are stability, usability and support for the whole system when used professionally at universities, institute, colleges and -also- at home.
Poseidon Linux 5.0 and 6.0 were based on Ubuntu LTS 12.04.1. Poseidon Linux 7.0 was based on Ubuntu LTS 14.04.
