The Debian Edu package namespace comprises debian-edu- and education- You should get the complete list running: apt search ^debian-edu- and apt search ^education- While it doesn't make any sense to install the debian-edu-install or debian-edu-config package on top of a vanilla Debian system, some of the education-* packages (e.g. topic related ones like education-music or school-level related ones like education-secondaryschool) could be useful. With the exception of education-tasks, all education-* packages are meta-packages. An overview is available at https://blends.debian.org/edu/tasks/ Don't ever install any of those meta-packages blindly; on the command line, apt show <package name> is your friend. For more information about Debian Edu in general, see: https://blends.debian.org/edu ------- To turn a minimal Debian system into a Standalone Debian Edu one, you should be able to use this dedicated script: https://salsa.debian.org/debian-edu/debian-edu-config/-/blob/bullseye/share/debian-edu-config/tools/debian-edu-bless On your minimal Debian 11 (bullseye) system, get the raw version: wget https://salsa.debian.org/debian-edu/debian-edu-config/-/raw/bullseye/share/debian-edu-config/tools/debian-edu-bless Make the script executable: chmod +x debian-edu-bless Just to be sure that name resolution is working during installation, check if 'service systemd-resolved status' is active, otherwise run: apt install resolvconf systemctl enable systemd-resolved service systemd-resolved start Make sure you have at least 20 GiB disk space. Install on top of vanilla Debian 11 (bullseye) using the preferred Desktop environment: PROFILE=Standalone DESKTOP=xfce ./debian-edu-bless (Instead of xfce, you could use cinnamon, gnome, kde, lxde, lxqt, or mate.) ------- As far as the Windows operating system is concerned: I don't use it, so can't provide any hint. Hope it helps, Wolfgang
