 We have a in-house built application using MySQL + PHP + Apache. It is

 online.
 
 We have identified few pilot location and would like to deploy this
 application. However due to lack of IT support at the location we have
 decided to use a pre-configured appliance which support the LAMP
 stack. All we want to do is directly ship the appliance to the
 location, and remotely install our app.
 
 We want the appliance to require minimal maintenance and
 administration, and have a auto-update feature to get security patches
 etc.
 
 I had previously worked on a similar project and used Sun Cobalt 550
 servers. But now I think Sun has stopped making them and you can only
 buy them refurbished and the auto-update features are severely
 limited.
 
 Any other suggestion??? We want the appliance to cost us $1,000 / unit.
 
 Thanks

Have you looked at ubuntu distribution of linux.  I think they have a
'school' variant which might be close to what you need.  Also, the people
there might be able to give you more help.  Good luck.
