About Debian Edu and Skolelinux

Debian Edu, also known as Skolelinux, is a Linux distribution based on Debian 
providing an out-of-the box environment of a completely configured school 
network. Immediately after installation a school server running all services 
needed for a school network is set up just waiting for users and machines 
being added via GOsa², a comfortable Web-UI. A netbooting environment is 
prepared using PXE, so after initial installation of the main server from CD 
or USB stick all other machines can be installed via the network. The provided 
school server provides LDAP database and Kerberos authentication service, 
centralized home directories, DHCP server, web proxy and many other services. 
The desktop contains more than 60 educational software packages and more are 
available from the Debian archive, and schools can choose between KDE, Gnome, 
LXDE and Xfce desktop environment. 

This is the seventh test release based on Debian Wheezy. Basically this is an 
updated and slightly improved version compared to the Squeeze release. 

Notes for upgrades from Alpha Prereleases 

Alpha based installations should reinstall or downgrade the versions of gosa 
and libpam-mklocaluser to the ones used in this beta release. Both alpha and 
beta0 based installations should reinstall or deal with gosa.conf manually; 
there are two options: (1) Keep gosa.conf and edit this file as outlined on 
the mailing list. (2) Accept the new version of gosa.conf and replace both 
contained admin password placeholders with the password hashes found in the 
old one (backup copy!). In both cases all users need to change their password 
to make sure a password is set for CIFS access to their home directory. 


cheers,
	Holger
