If a vendor of software to schools creates a product which is standards
compliant, that product will run on virtually ANY machine, *nix, *bsd,
or win.  There are no versions of a modern OS for use in an educational
environment which do not include some sort of appropriate browser.   

To answer your second question: there are few versions of Linux for which
Firefox cannot be readily compiled; there are none that you would want
to use in a general education environment (servers, embedded, floppy-based,
etc.)
