Debian gives you a choice of GNOME and KDE (and other ones or no) desktop.

You claim Skolelinux gives exact same choices as Debian, just with KDE
as the default? So Afterstep not working from LTSP clients in Skolelinux
is a Skolelinux bug?

I honestly believe you are wrong. Skolelinux is an (almost)
Debian-compliant, tweaked subset of Debian. Adding non-Skolelinux
sources to a Skolelinux APT sources.list (including the Debian superset
mirrored at skolelinux.no) will probably work, but in doing so you are
in fact turning your system into an APT-based Debian- and
Skolelinux-derived bastard.


For each choice taken away (or wiped, hidden, suppressed, overruled or
whatever you wanna call it) by a CDD, you are free to put it back again,
but in doing so you release yourself from that aspect of the CDD.
