Hi,
I am happy to finally announce "Debian Edu Squeeze 6.0.3 beta1"!
Complete download and installation instructions are available at
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Squeeze/Installation
Read the "Getting Started" chapter of the manual to learn how to login for the
first time:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Squeeze/GettingStarted
Please file bugs on any issues you find, and (probably somewhat additionally)
also mention those bugs and issues on our status page at
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Status/Squeeze
Also be aware: From February 2012, Debian Lenny will not receive security
updates anymore. So by then, Debian Edu Squeeze _should_ be available as an
upgrade option as well as for new installations! In other words: we have work
to do. Now!
But please bear in mind, that there will be _nobody_ fixing bugs, writing
documentation, doing translations or doing any other work - unless *you* do
it!
Testing and giving feedback to debian-edu@lists.debian.org or #debian-edu on
irc.debian.org is a very good way to start contributing! Act now :-D
If you can do more, give the manual some love. It needs it.
cheers,
Holger
