[support] College Website Migrating to Drupal

[Jai]

Thanks Shai,

I'm taking your suggestion seriously and firstly giving time to the basic
structure. I am using Druapl 6 here. The most difficult task I am finding
here is selecting some module of your use out of the great pool of them. I
visited some case studies provided by some college/universities for their
drupal implementation and found them quite inspiring.

I liked the idea of distributions in drupal, as the great variety of modules
available can lead the extensibility of drupal to any point. I was
wondering, if some work has been done for education distribution also?
