This depends on how homogeneous the computers are

It could be simple:
For example if you have the fpc+lazarus svn under  
/home/username/pascal/{fpc,lazarus]}, then you can copy the whole  
directory plus the /home/username/.lazarus to another computer (same  
OS).

It gets more complicated if you want to install third party packages  
or provide one single rpm or a windows installer.

The education package is new. It is currently evaluated in some  
schools. The results will probably lead to some changes.
