I have no experience with College Linux.  Just a quick suggestion 
though.  If you're new to Linux, you might consider sticking with larger 
distros if you'll be looking for assistance.  There's absolutely nothing 
wrong with checking out smaller distros, it's just that there'll be 
fewer folks with experiences to assist.  It all depends on your 
personality, if you're into spending a lot of time on such efforts, 
excellent, as you can likely become a quick resource for others.

That aside, if you take a good look at College Linux, please post to the 
list your opinions, findings, likes/dislikes of the distro, as I'm 
always interested (as I'm sure others are) in hearing about the lesser 
distros.
