It's quite powerful and allows you prepare exercises that are loaded as applet by the students using the webbrowser. Just taking a look at http://linex.educarex.es/moodle/course/category.php?id=3| you'll see some tutorials for maths teachers using geogebra (it's in spanish, but it's math and should be easy to understand to any math "person"). Geogebra is gpl'ed but I don't know a word about the current java policy in Debian, as I guess they are waiting for Sun to change the license as they promised. Otherwise, a java expert should see if geogebra can be compiled with cgj. Anyway it's a very interesting app for teachers for with almost all ages pupils. I don't know anything about geonext. It's the fist time I hear about that app. Regards. JOsé L.
