== What is it? ==
 '''''Debian Edu'''''
   is a Debian project to make the best distribution for educational purposes.<<BR>>
   You can read more about [[/About|here]].
Click on the [[/BeforeGettingStarted |Before Getting Started]] page to see information about:
 * Basic terminology<<BR>>

Line 19: Line 30:
 '''''Skolelinux'''''
   is the name of a [[DebianPureBlends|Debian Pure Blend]] which is produced by the Debian Edu project.<<BR>>
   "Skole" ([skuːl]) is the Norwegian form of "school". Both "skole" and "school" comes from the Latin word "schola".


== Goals ==
 * Provide a complete software solution using free software and ...
   * tailored for the needs and use-cases in educational scenarios.
   * preconfigured for easy installation (standalone, as well as network-wide rollout).
   * easy to use, maintain, and administer.
   * supporting '''your''' language natively.
 * Classify and package all free software related to education.
 * Write documentation to describe how to use the various softwares (in an educational context).
 * International availability, currently being translated into XX languages.


== Homepage vs. Wiki ==
 * http://www.slx.no is the Homepage of Debian Edu, it's task is to represent Debian Edu.
 * http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu is the Wiki of Debian Edu, it's task is to assist active users and developers.



= Get started =
 * Consider running a [[/HowTo/TestCDinstall |test installation]] with virtual machines.
 * A [[/Hardware|list of tested hardware]] is available. Please update it with the computers you have available.


== Download ==
 * See how to [[/Download|download]] or [[/GetStarted/Cd|order]] Skolelinux.


== Install ==
 * Fetch some [[/DebianEdu#Documentaion|Documentation]] and have a look at it. The first chapters of the [[/Documentation/Lenny|manual]] provide a good overview. ;-)


== Use ==
 * Start using your new system!
 * Remember, that Debian Edu is 99,9% Debian, so almost all help for using Debian also applies to Debian Edu.
