> /var/www/html/drupal1
> /var/www/html/drupal2
> /var/www/html/drupal3
> ...
> /var/www/html/drupal10
>
> Additionally, there are 10 aliases in httpd.conf :
>
> Alias /drupal1 /var/www/html/drupal1
> Alias /drupal2 /var/www/html/drupal2
> Alias /drupal3 /var/www/html/drupal3
> ...
> Alias /drupal10 /var/www/html/drupal10
>
> Considering our classroom environment, and that performance is not a  
> priority, will this setup be OK?  Any comments from those with  
> experience administering Drupal would be greatly appreciated.

John, this should work fine.  You would need separate DB anyway.
