I _think_ that PHPMyAdmin is on the current build. Will need to check with
the developers.

The issue with the SMB/CIFS integration is more complex, as it requires 
integration with your school's file-share authentication system. This 
makes it tricky to build into a standalone, 'instant-on' solution like 
LiveLAMP. If that facility is really important, your best bet will be in 
building up a box which you can run SAMBA on.

We're about to release 0.30, which has a fully-functional content 
management system (Mambo) too. This makes it easy for you and the students 
to add notes about what projects you're working on.
