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.
Known problems that need to be fixed
Retire the killer package
Known problems that we would like to see fixed
- Several Debian Edu related tasks suggest packages that are not (longer) available in Debian. These suggests remind the team members that they would like to try and bring back those packages into Debian. This is the case for:
education-astronomy: suggests xtide and xtide-data which are not in unstable (see 1118016).
education-chemistry: suggests gdis which is not in unstable (see 1118017).
education-common: suggests cpqarrayd, dpt-i2o-raidutils and raidutils which are not in unstable (see 1118079).
education-desktop-other: suggests kvpm and tablix2 which are not in unstable (see 1118080).
education-geography: suggest googleearth-package and qlandkartegt which are not in unstable (see 1118081).
