Debian edu: see http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu Skolelinux: see http://www.skolelinux.org/portal/ The projects are quite closely related, and there's mailing lists and IRC channels for both. > How can I get Demo-material and Live-CDs of the current version. Debian itself does not distribute demo material, and also doesn't have a live CD. I don't know what the Skolelinux people do/have. There are many live CDs based on Debian, however, so you may want to try one of these (popular choices are Knoppix and Ubuntu, but there's probably more than 15 or so by now.) The current version of Debian is sarge/3.1r1, see http://www.debian.org/distrib/ on how to obtain it. If your school has decent network connection, I recommend downloading only the netinst or businesscard ISO (<http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/>) and then set up a local package repository with one of apt-cacher, apt-proxy, debmirror or debpartial-mirror on the first machine you install. Then install all other machines from that mirror, and you'll end up only downloading what you need and downloading every package only once. (For a typical installation, you'll only download 600M or so, which is obviously much less than 14 full CD images.) There's also certainly some Linux users' group in your area, you should probably ask there, somebody may be ready to help you getting started. Bye -- vbi -- featured link: http://fortytwo.ch/smtp
