Status of Debian Edu 13 (trixie)
(development started in June 2025)
- Debian Edu 13 has not been officially released yet
This page is our main overview/tracker for the status of Debian Edu Trixie. In addition to this we have a list of all bugs user-tagged "debian-edu".
Installation
Hints
Instead of the default xfce desktop environment, mate, gnome, lxde, lxqt, cinnamon or kde can be used by editing the kernel desktop parameter (default: desktop=xfce).
- Dropping the modules= and desktop= items from the kernel command line completely allows one to use all ISO images for stock Debian installations.
See the Trixie manual installation chapter how to edit kernel command line parameters.
Installation media
Debian Edu ISOs for 64-bit and very old 32-bit PCs (both AMD and Intel processors) are available from the usual Debian places.

Avoid using i386 for systems with Workstation profile; see 1037301 (also concerning the docs).
Download using HTTPS
The -edu- netinst iso image can be used for installation from CD/DVD and USB flash drives and is available for two Debian architectures: amd64 (64-bit) or i386 (32-bit). As the name implies, Internet access is required for the installation.
The -edu- BD images are 7.5 GB (amd64) / 6.0 GB (i386) large and can be used for installation of amd64 or i386 machines, also without access to the Internet. Like the netinst image it can be installed on USB flash drives or disk media of sufficient size.
Verify the downloaded image file
Detailed instructions for verifying these images are part of the Debian-CD FAQ.
