The review includes a screenshot walkthrough:

It describes Ubuntu as the best Linux distribution for Desktop use, but does not give it as strong a rating for Server use. The article recommends RedHat as a Linux server OS.
However, speaking from personal experience: If you choose to run Ubuntu on your desktops, it would make more sense to choose Debian for the server since Ubuntu is based on Debian and what you learn on one will generally transfer to the other. The application packaging and management systems are different between Red Hat and Debian/Ubuntu as one example.
Ubuntu has a flavor specifically for educational use: http://edubuntu.org/
If hardware cost is a consideration, you might also look at thin client tools. Here are some sites specifically geared at the use of linux/open source in educational settings:

I'm including a video here that shows what Ubuntu is capable of in terms of GUI eye candy.
