Maybe you should try Debian. I think I installed mine in 1997 or so.
Updates are easy.

It's funny that you say that. It used to be (in windows 3.1 or maybe it
was OS/2) so that you could actually get context sensitive help, i.e. if
you press F1 you'd get help on whatever had the focus. Now, at least
my Windows 98se all I get is this generic help thing which only seems
to speak in general terms, no specific help is available. Or if it is,
it's really hard to find.

You read the docs. If there's no docs, you bug the developers. Or ask from
other users of the same program, like on this mailing list.

Maybe the school feels bad about spending (tax?) money on software,
when they can use free stuff too. Maybe you'll appreciate this when
you actually get a job and pay taxes. I know I do, here in Finland some
towns are actually planning moving to Linux to save money.
