Edubuntu
Edubuntu, also known as Ubuntu Education Edition, is an official derivative of the Ubuntu operating system designed for use in classrooms and schools.
Edubuntu has been developed in collaboration with teachers and technologists in multiple countries. Edubuntu is built on top of the Ubuntu base, incorporates the LTSP thin client architecture and several education-specific applications, and is aimed at users aged 6 to 18.
The primary goal of Edubuntu is to enable an educator with limited technical knowledge and skills to set up a computer lab or an on-line learning environment in an hour or less and then effectively administer that environment.
The principal design goals of Edubuntu are centralized management of configuration, users and processes, together with facilities for working collaboratively in a classroom setting. Equally important is the gathering together of the best available free software and digital materials for education.
It also aims to allow resource-poor environments to maximize their available (older) equipment.
Included with Edubuntu is the Linux Terminal Server Project, a large number of educational applications including GCompris, KDE Edutainment Suite, and Schooltool Calendar. The first Edubuntu release coincided with the release of Ubuntu 5.10, which was codenamed Breezy Badger on 2005-10-13. Edubuntu CDs were previously available for free through their Shipit service. However, as of version 8.10, it is only available as a download.
Edubuntu's default GUI is GNOME, but starting with release 7.10, KDE is also available as Edubuntu KDE.
