Skolelinux

Skolelinux is an educational Linux distribution based on Debian (hence also named: Debian-Edu). Skolelinux is an open source project founded in Norway that provides all IT software that schools will need. Its name is derived from Norwegian "Skole" (School). Skolelinux offers four different installation profiles on once CD that will easily install a pre-configured educational network including main server, workstations and thin client server. In short, its major aimings are:
  • Create a Linux distribution tailored for schools -- based on their needs and *resources*.
  • Simplify maintenance of computer facilities.
  • Provide a thin client-solution, which eases maintenance, reduces costs and allows use of old hardware.
  • Cut costs by using open source software and re-using old hardware.
  • Localize the IT infrastructure by translating the software pages to all officially-supported languages in Norway, that is Nynorsk and Bokml as well as Sami.
  • Identify and facilitate suitable programs for use in the schools.
  • Enable teachers to provide high quality IT-teaching to their students.
