1: Presseschreiben
Debian-Edu: Skolelinux 3.0 Terra ist frei zum Download verfügbar
* Oslo - July 22., 2007
Skolelinux 3.0 ist fertig. Dies ist ein FIXME
Skolelinux 3.0 is ready. This is an community release with comprehensive support from regional and national projects in Germany, Spain, France, Greece and Norway. The Skolelinux project is now a part of Debian under the name Debian-Edu. Several other projects have made additional functionality to Skolelinux tailored for national needs. Skolelinux now supports 50 countries.
Was ist neu in Skolelinux 3.0?
- Debian-Edu/Skolelinux Terra basiert auf dem Debian "Etch" 4.0 Release und ist somit kompatibel zu LSB 3.1. Es beinhaltet den Kernel 2.6.18 sowie KDE 3.5.5
Es bietet volle Unterstützung für Thin clients, LowFat (diskless) clients, sowie Arbeitsstationen und Laptops. Mit den LowFat Rechnern wird eine volle PC Funktionalität erreicht wobei die benötigte Hardware sehr günstig ist. Durch die Benutzung von LowFat Rechnern ist eine uneingeschränkte Nutzung von Sound, Video, USB Sticks sowie CD/DVD's an den jeweiligen Arbeitsplätzen möglich.
Skolelinux enthält in diesem Release mehr als 80 speziell für den Schulischen Gebrauch ausgesuchte Anwendungen, welche in über 50 Sprachen zur Verfügung stehen. Natürlich sind auch die Klassiker !GCompris, KDE-Edu, Iceweasel (unbranded Version des Firefox) und OpenOffice.org enthalten.
- Die Installation der Server ist einfach: Sowohl die Installationsmedien als auch der Sourcecode für jede Software ist nun auf einer DVD downloadbar. Dieses Release unterstützt 3 verschiedene Plattformen: i386, AMD64 und !PowerPC. Dadurch wird es mehr Schulen möglich sein Ihre alte Hardware weiter zu benutzen. Installations CDs sind für die drei verschiedenen Plattformen auch verfügbar, jedoch muss eine funktionierende Netzwerkverbindung vorhanden sein. (Netzwerkinstallation)
Über Skolelinux
Skolelinux is a complete tailored software solution for the needs of any educational institution or school. It is a ready computer system were the school does not need to piece together the components.
Skolelinux is the result of the work of the Debian Edu project and Debian Edu is an official Debian subproject. It is installed in a great number of schools in Norway, Germany, France and other countries. Municipalities and Commercial Service Providers run Skolelinux across multiple schools, operated and maintained centrally. Service providers report that the "lowfat clients" require half the maintenance cost of other desktop alternatives.
The next milestone of Skolelinux development will be to merge the Debian-based ?LinEx distro into Debian Edu[2]. Currently ?LinEx is used by more than 250,000 students and public employees in the region of Extremadura in Spain.
In depth
"Lowfat clients" is also known as Diskless workstations. They run applications locally on the client. All software comes from the server instead of locally from the client hard drive. Recommended minimum requirement for client machines is > 256 MB RAM and 800 MHz CPU. Skolelinux now got improved tools for system survailance and maintenence.
Roadmap for next merging of ?LinEx and Debian-Edu:
Please note that the documentation for the 3.0 Terra release is only available in English at the moment and contains some rough edges. We have considered releasing before the end of the summer holidays more important and we will fix those rough edges in the coming weeks, when we also expect more translations to show up. Those fixes will be included in the upcoming 3.0 r1 release.

2: Quotes
Steffen Joeris, Developer - Germany:
- "I think the last release cycle was very vital and it included major changes. This includes the new "Debian-Edu/Skolelinux 3.0" version and many things behind the curtain as well, such as new infrastructure, internal team structure, new contributors and a deeper connection to Debian."
Steffen Joeris, Developer - Germany:
- "The usability point was improved a lot and our focus is still the teacher, who needs to teach instead of spending all his time to administrate the network."
Anders Kringstad Hanssen, Leader, Free Software in Schools - Norway:
- "With the great 3.0 release of Debian-Edu, we are putting focus back on a often overlooked need for freedom and stability in educational software. The proprietary software industry treats pupils as consumers, instead of as human beings who are curious to learn how things are made. Educational software should be both user friendly and universally accessible, encouraging pupils and teachers to learn from each other and innovate."
Knut Yrvin, Relations manager, Skolelinux project - Norway:
- "Skolelinux 3.0 is a clear and powerful community release with large-scale support from regionaly and nationaly based projects in Germany, Spain, France and Norway. I am confident that with this release we have given educators in many countries a tool they have been waiting for."
