Actualy it belongs to "Desktop, Education, Thin Client" categories.

Honestly I'm wondering if it's correct to assign it ot other categories.
I realy think it does not belong to firewall, beginners, old
computers, specialist.
I'm in doubt with Scentific (I don't know if there's so specialize
software in it), server (it offers many services but they are
preconfigured for a debian-edu network, not for a generic purpose).

I know it can born a big discussion on that, mostrly because
debian-edu does many many things. If you look of what it can do, then
it will aplly to all categories but I was thinking of a guy with in
the hand a debian-edu dvd. It can't goes on an old computer like Damn
Small Linux could do. If he's a beginner he will have difficulties at
understing the profile during installation (he should know well what
he's going to do). Sure debian-edu can run a firewall, all
distrubution can, but it's not its main scope (installing the main
profile you will have much more things than a firewall). And so on.

So, if you want, I'll send the email to distrowatch as you asked, but
I just wanted you to think if it's the right thing to assigne all
there categories.

Bye ;-)
