14 <description>&lt;p&gt;The third wheezy based alpha release of Debian Edu was wrapped up
15 today. This is the release announcement:&lt;/p&gt;
16
17 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New features for Debian Edu 7.0.0 alpha2 released
18 2013-06-10&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
19
20 &lt;p&gt;This is the release notes for for Debian Edu / Skolelinux 7.0.0 edu
21 alpha2, based on Debian with codename &quot;Wheezy&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
22
23 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Debian Edu and Skolelinux&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
24
25 &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu, also known as
26 Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;, is a Linux distribution based on Debian providing an
27 out-of-the box environment of a completely configured school
28 network. Immediately after installation a school server running all
29 services needed for a school network is set up just waiting for users
30 and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable Web-UI. A netbooting
31 environment is prepared using PXE, so after initial installation of
32 the main server from CD, DVD or USB stick all other machines can be
33 installed via the network. The provided school server provides LDAP
34 database and Kerberos authentication service, centralized home
35 directories, DHCP server, web proxy and many other services. The
36 desktop contains
37 &lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Educational_applications_included_in_Debian_Edu___Skolelinux__the_screenshot_collection____.html&quot;&gt;more
38 than 60 educational software packages&lt;/a&gt; and more are available from
39 the Debian archive, and schools can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE
40 and Xfce desktop environment.&lt;/p&gt;
41
42 &lt;p&gt;This is the third test release based on Debian Wheezy. Basically
43 this is an updated and slightly improved version compared to the
44 Squeeze release.&lt;/p&gt;

130 <title>Is there a PHP expert in the building? Debian Edu need help!</title>
131 <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Is_there_a_PHP_expert_in_the_building___Debian_Edu_need_help_.html</link>
132 <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Is_there_a_PHP_expert_in_the_building___Debian_Edu_need_help_.html</guid>
133 <pubDate>Wed, 5 Jun 2013 17:50:00 +0200</pubDate>
134 <description>&lt;p&gt;Here is a call for help from the Debian Edu / Skolelinux project.
135 We have two problems blocking the release of the Wheezy version we
136 hope to get released soon. The two problems require some with PHP
137 skills, and we seem to lack anyone with both time and PHP skills in
138 the project:
139
140 &lt;ol&gt;
141
142 &lt;li&gt;It is impossible to log into the slbackup web interface
143 (slbackup-php) using the root user and password. This is
144 &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/700257&quot;&gt;BTS report #700257&lt;/a&gt;.
145 This used to work, but stopped working some time since Squeeze.
146 Perhaps some obsolete PHP feature was used?&lt;/li&gt;
147
148 &lt;li&gt;It is not possible to &quot;mass import&quot; user lists in Gosa, neither
149 using ldif nor using CSV files. The feature was disabled after a
150 major rewrite of Gosa, and need to be ported to the new system.
151 This is &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/698840&quot;&gt;BTS report
152 #698840&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
153
154 &lt;/ol&gt;
155
156 &lt;p&gt;If you can help us, please join us on IRC
157 (&lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.debian.org/%23debian-edu&quot;&gt;#debian-edu on
158 irc.debian.org&lt;/a&gt;) and provide patches via the BTS.&lt;/p&gt;

163 <title>Debian Edu interview: Cédric Boutillier</title>
164 <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Debian_Edu_interview__C_dric_Boutillier.html</link>
165 <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Debian_Edu_interview__C_dric_Boutillier.html</guid>
166 <pubDate>Tue, 4 Jun 2013 10:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
167 <description>&lt;p&gt;It has been a while since my last English
168 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu and Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;
169 interview last November. But the developers and translators are still
170 pulling along to get the Wheezy based release out the door, and this
171 time I managed to get an interview from one of the French translators
172 in the project, Cédric Boutillier.&lt;/p&gt;
173
174 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who are you, and how do you spend your days?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
175
176 &lt;p&gt;I am 34 year old. I live near Paris, France. I am an assistant
177 professor in probability theory. I spend my daytime teaching
178 mathematics at the university and doing fundamental research in
179 probability in connexion with combinatorics and statistical physics.&lt;/p&gt;
180
181 &lt;p&gt;I have been involved in the Debian project for a couple of years
182 and became Debian Developer a few months ago. I am working on Ruby
183 packaging, publicity and translation.&lt;/p&gt;
184
185 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux / Debian Edu
186 project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
187
188 &lt;p&gt;I came to the Debian Edu project after a call for translation of
189 &lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Manuals&quot;&gt;the
190 Debian Edu manual&lt;/a&gt; for the release of Debian Edu Squeeze. Since
191 then, I have been working on updating the French translation of the
192 manual.
193
194 &lt;p&gt;I had the opportunity to make an installation of Debian Edu in a
195 virtual machine when I was preparing localised version of some screen
196 shots for the manual. I was amazed to see it worked out of the box and
197 how comprehensive the list of software installed by default was.&lt;/p&gt;
198
199 &lt;p&gt;What amazed me was the complete network infrastructure directly
200 ready to use, which can and the nice administration interface provided
201 by &lt;a href=&quot;https://oss.gonicus.de/labs/gosa/&quot;&gt;GOsa²&lt;/a&gt;. What pleased
202 me also was the fact that among the software installed by default,
203 there were many &quot;traditional&quot; educative software to learn languages,
204 to count, to program... but also software to develop creativity and
205 artistic skills with music (&lt;a href=&quot;http://ardour.org/&quot;&gt;Ardour&lt;/a&gt;,
206 &lt;a href=&quot;http://audacity.sourceforge.net/&quot;&gt;Audacity&lt;/a&gt;) and
207 movies/animation (I was especially thinking of
208 &lt;a href=&quot;http://linuxstopmotion.sourceforge.net/&quot;&gt;Stopmotion&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
209
210 &lt;p&gt;I am following the development of Debian Edu and am hanging out on
211 &lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.debian.org/%23debian-edu&quot;&gt;#debian-edu&lt;/a&gt;.
212 Unfortunately, I don&#39;t much time to get more involved in this
213 beautiful project.&lt;/p&gt;
214
215 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux / Debian
216 Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
217
218 &lt;p&gt;For me, the main advantages of Skolelinux/Debian Edu are its
219 community of experts and its precise documentation, as well as the
220 fact that it provides a solution ready to use.&lt;/p&gt;
221
222 &lt;p&gt;I would add also the fact that it is based on the rock solid Debian
223 distribution, which ensures stability and provides a huge collection
224 of educational free software.&lt;/p&gt;
225
226 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux / Debian
227 Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
228
229 &lt;p&gt;Maybe the lack of manpower to do lobbying on the
230 project. Sometimes, people who need to take decisions concerning IT do
231 not have all the elements to evaluate properly free software
232 solutions. The fact that support by a company may be difficult to find
233 is probably a problem if the school does not have IT personnel.&lt;/p&gt;
234
235 &lt;p&gt;One can find support from a company by looking at
236 &lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Help/ProfessionalHelp&quot;&gt;the
237 wiki dokumentation&lt;/a&gt;, where some countries already have a number of
238 companies providing support for Debian Edu, like Germany or
239 Norway. This list is easy to find readily from the manual. However,
240 for other countries, like France, the list is empty. I guess that
241 consultants proposing support for Debian would be able to provide some
242 support for Debian Edu as well.&lt;/p&gt;
243
244 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which free software do you use daily?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
245
246 &lt;p&gt;I am using the KDE Plasma Desktop. But the pieces of software I use
247 most runs in a terminal: Mutt and OfflineIMAP for emails, latex for
248 scientific documents, mpd for music. VIM is my editor of choice. I am
249 also using the mathematical software
250 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.scilab.org/en/scilab/about‎&quot;&gt;Scilab&lt;/a&gt; and
251 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sagemath.org/index.html‎&quot;&gt;Sage&lt;/a&gt; (built from
252 source as not completely packaged for Debian, yet).
253
254 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do you have any suggestions for teachers interested in
255 using the free software in Debian to teach mathematics and
256 statistics?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
257
258 &lt;p&gt;I do not have any &quot;nice&quot; recommendations for statistics. At our
259 university, we use both &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.r-project.org/‎&quot;&gt;R&lt;/a&gt; and
260 Scilab to teach statistics and probabilistic simulations. For
261 geometry, there are nice programs:&lt;/p&gt;
262
263 &lt;ul&gt;
264
265 &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.drgeo.eu/&quot;&gt;drgeo&lt;/a&gt; and
266 &lt;a href=&quot;http://edu.kde.org/applications/all/kig‎&quot;&gt;kig&lt;/a&gt; to do
267 constructions in planar geometry
268
269 &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.geom.uiuc.edu/software/download/kali.html&quot;&gt;kali&lt;/a&gt;
270 to discover symmetry groups (the so-called wallpapers and frieze
271 groups), although the interface looks a bit old.&lt;/li&gt;
272
273 &lt;/ul&gt;
274
275 &lt;p&gt;I like also
276 &lt;a href=&quot;http://edu.kde.org/applications/all/cantor&quot;&gt;cantor&lt;/a&gt;, which
277 provides a uniform interface to SciLab, Sage,
278 &lt;a href=&quot;http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Octave‎&quot;&gt;Octave&lt;/a&gt;, etc...&lt;/p&gt;
279
280 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
281 get schools to use free software?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
282
283 &lt;p&gt;My suggestions would be to&lt;/p&gt;
284
285 &lt;ul&gt;
286
287 &lt;li&gt;advertise the reduction of costs when free software is used.&lt;/li&gt;
288
289 &lt;li&gt;communicate about the quality of free software projects, using
290 well known examples like Firefox, ThunderBird and
291 OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice.&lt;/li&gt;
292
293 &lt;li&gt;advertise the living and strong community around the project.&lt;/li&gt;
294
295 &lt;li&gt;show that it is not more difficult to use than any other
296 system.&lt;/li&gt;
297
298 &lt;/ul&gt;

303 <title>Åpent møte på onsdag om bruken av Microsoft Exchange ved Universitetet i Oslo</title>

306 <pubDate>Mon, 3 Jun 2013 14:00:00 +0200</pubDate>
307 <description>&lt;p&gt;Jeg jobber til daglig ved &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.uio.no/&quot;&gt;Universitetet
308 i Oslo&lt;/a&gt;, en institusjon som lenge har vektlagt verdien av åpne
309 standarder og fri programvare. Men noe har endret seg, og for en
310 liten stund tilbake annonserte USIT at dagens fungerende e-postsystemet
311 basert på fri programvare skulle byttes ut med Microsoft Exchange og
312 at Microsoft Outlook skulle bli den best fungerende men antagelig ikke
313 eneste støttede e-postklienten. Annonseringen har ført til flere
314 protester og &lt;a href=&quot;http://folk.uio.no/dssantos/nooutlookatuio/&quot;&gt;en
315 underskriftskampanje&lt;/a&gt;, initiert av Diana Santos, der så langt 253
316 personer har signert. Prosjektet
317 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.usit.uio.no/prosjekter/nike/&quot;&gt;NIKE (Ny integrert
318 kalender/e-post)&lt;/a&gt; ble initiert for å se på mulige løsninger med
319 utgangspunkt i at en kombinert epost/kalenderløsning var påkrevd, og
320 prosjektet
321 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.usit.uio.no/prosjekter/nike-implementasjon/&quot;&gt;NIKE-implementasjon&lt;/a&gt;
322 er igang med å rulle ut MS Exchange ved Universitetet i Oslo.&lt;/p&gt;
323
324 &lt;p&gt;For kun kort tid siden ble det annonsert at det blir et åpent møte
325 med ledelsen hos universitetet i Oslo med disse planene som tema:&lt;/p&gt;
326
327 &lt;p&gt;Tid: &lt;strong&gt;Onsdag 2013-06-05 kl. 10:00&lt;/strong&gt;
328 &lt;br&gt;Sted: &lt;strong&gt;9. etasje i Lucy Smiths hus (admin-bygget)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
329
330 &lt;p&gt; Det kan være en god plass å stille opp hvis en som meg ikke tror
331 valget av Microsoft Exchange som sentral epostinfrastruktur er et
332 heldig valg for Norges ledende forskningsuniversitet, men at en er mer
333 tjent med å selv
334 &lt;a href=&quot;http://nuug.no/dokumenter/kronikk-friprog-itsikkerhet.shtml&quot;&gt;beholde
335 kontrollen over egen infrastruktur&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
336
337 &lt;p&gt;Saken har ført til endel presseoppslag så langt. Her er de jeg har
338 fått med meg:&lt;/p&gt;

371 <description>&lt;p&gt;Included in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu /
372 Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;, there are quite a lot of educational software.
373 Created to help teachers teach, and pupils learn. We have tried to
374 tag them all using debtags use::learning and role::program, and using
375 the debtags I was happy to be able to create a collage of the
376 educational software packages installed by default, sorted by the
377 debtag field. Here it is. Click on a image to learn more about the
378 program.&lt;/p&gt;

507 <pubDate>Mon, 27 May 2013 15:20:00 +0200</pubDate>
508 <description>&lt;p&gt;Two days ago, I asked
509 &lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/How_can_I_install_Linux_on_a_Packard_Bell_Easynote_LV_preinstalled_with_Windows_8_.html&quot;&gt;how
510 I could install Linux on a Packard Bell EasyNote LV computer
511 preinstalled with Windows 8&lt;/a&gt;. I found a solution, but am horrified
512 with the obstacles put in the way of Linux users on a laptop with UEFI
513 and Windows 8.&lt;/p&gt;
514
515 &lt;p&gt;I never found out if the cause of my problems were the use of UEFI
516 secure booting or fast boot. I suspect fast boot was the problem,
517 causing the firmware to boot directly from HD without considering any
518 key presses and alternative devices, but do not know UEFI settings
519 enough to tell.&lt;/p&gt;
520
521 &lt;p&gt;There is no way to install Linux on the machine in question without
522 opening the box and disconnecting the hard drive! This is as far as I
523 can tell, the only way to get access to the firmware setup menu
524 without accepting the Windows 8 license agreement. I am told (and
525 found description on how to) that it is possible to configure the
526 firmware setup once booted into Windows 8. But as I believe the terms
527 of that agreement are completely unacceptable, accepting the license
528 was never an alternative. I do not enter agreements I do not intend
529 to follow.&lt;/p&gt;
530
531 &lt;p&gt;I feared I had to return the laptops and ask for a refund, and
532 waste many hours on this, but luckily there was a way to get it to
533 work. But I would not recommend it to anyone planning to run Linux on
534 it, and I have become sceptical to Windows 8 certified laptops. Is
535 this the way Linux will be forced out of the market place, by making
536 it close to impossible for &quot;normal&quot; users to install Linux without
537 accepting the Microsoft Windows license terms? Or at least not
538 without risking to loose the warranty?&lt;/p&gt;
539
540 &lt;p&gt;I&#39;ve updated the
541 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.linlap.com/packard_bell_easynote_lv&quot;&gt;Linux Laptop
542 wiki page for Packard Bell EasyNote LV&lt;/a&gt;, to ensure the next person
543 do not have to struggle as much as I did to get Linux into the
544 machine.&lt;/p&gt;
545
546 &lt;p&gt;Thanks to Bob Rosbag, Florian Weimer, Philipp Kern, Ben Hutching,
547 Michael Tokarev and others for feedback and ideas.&lt;/p&gt;

552 <title>How can I install Linux on a Packard Bell Easynote LV preinstalled with Windows 8?</title>
553 <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/How_can_I_install_Linux_on_a_Packard_Bell_Easynote_LV_preinstalled_with_Windows_8_.html</link>
554 <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/How_can_I_install_Linux_on_a_Packard_Bell_Easynote_LV_preinstalled_with_Windows_8_.html</guid>
555 <pubDate>Sat, 25 May 2013 18:20:00 +0200</pubDate>
556 <description>&lt;p&gt;I&#39;ve run into quite a problem the last few days. I bought three
557 new laptops for my parents and a few others. I bought Packard Bell
558 Easynote LV to run Kubuntu on and use as their home computer. But I
559 am completely unable to figure out how to install Linux on it. The
560 computer is preinstalled with Windows 8, and I suspect it uses UEFI
561 instead of a BIOS to boot.&lt;/p&gt;
562
563 &lt;p&gt;The problem is that I am unable to get it to PXE boot, and unable
564 to get it to boot the Linux installer from my USB stick. I have yet
565 to try the DVD install, and still hope it will work. when I turn on
566 the computer, there is no information on what buttons to press to get
567 the normal boot menu. I expect to get some boot menu to select PXE or
568 USB stick booting. When booting, it first ask for the language to
569 use, then for some regional settings, and finally if I will accept the
570 Windows 8 terms of use. As these terms are completely unacceptable to
571 me, I have no other choice but to turn off the computer and try again
572 to get it to boot the Linux installer.&lt;/p&gt;
573
574 &lt;p&gt;I have gathered my findings so far on a Linlap page about the
575 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.linlap.com/packard_bell_easynote_lv&quot;&gt;Packard Bell
576 EasyNote LV&lt;/a&gt; model. If you have any idea how to get Linux
577 installed on this machine, please get in touch or update that wiki
578 page. If I can&#39;t find a way to install Linux, I will have to return
579 the laptop to the seller and find another machine for my parents.&lt;/p&gt;
580
581 &lt;p&gt;I wonder, is this the way Linux will be forced out of the market
582 using UEFI and &quot;secure boot&quot; by making it impossible to install Linux
583 on new Laptops?&lt;/p&gt;

592 <description>&lt;p&gt;En ting
593 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Skolelinux-prosjektet&lt;/a&gt; har
594 hatt mye glede av er studentprosjekter. F.eks. er
595 &lt;a href=&quot;http://linuxstopmotion.org/&quot;&gt;stillbildeanimasjonssystemet
596 Stopmotion&lt;/a&gt; resultat av et studentprosjekt i Skolelinux. De siste
597 månedene har en ivrig student veiledet av Marius Kotsbak i
598 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.friprogramvareiskolen.no/&quot;&gt;FRiSK&lt;/a&gt; testet hva en
599 kan få til med en datamaskin til NOK 400,- (antagelig 1700,- med
600 skjerm, tastatur og mus) når det brukes i Skolelinux. Jeg spurte han
601 om et intervju.&lt;/p&gt;
602
603 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hvem er du, og hva driver du med til daglig?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
604
605 &lt;p&gt;Jeg heter Nirosan Thiyagalingam. Jeg er 24 år og studerer
606 dataingeniør studiet ved Høgskolen i Sør Trøndelag. Interessen for
607 data har siden ung alder vært tilstede og jeg har i tillegg alltid
608 vært glad i å lære nye ting. Med teknologi som endres svært hurtig er
609 det alltid noe nytt å lære. Noe som igjen har gjort det svært
610 interessant å følge med på utviklingen. Jeg valgte dataingeniør
611 studiet grunnet ønske om å lære enda mer om programmering og utvikling
612 av store systemer.&lt;/p&gt;
613
614 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hvordan kom du i kontakt med Skolelinux-prosjektet?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
615
616 &lt;p&gt;Skolelinux prosjektet hørte jeg først om i media. Men det var først
617 når jeg skulle velge bacheloroppgave at jeg fattet mer interesse for
618 prosjektet. Et enkelt søk på nettet førte meg til skolelinux sine
619 hjemmesider. Informasjonen jeg fant der gjorde meg enda nysgjerrig og
620 jeg valgte derfor en oppgave som gikk ut på å få en
621 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.raspberrypi.org&quot;&gt;Raspberry PI&lt;/a&gt;. Altså en
622 ultra-billig datamaskin til å kjøre Debian Edu på lik linje med
623 vanlige datamaskiner. I løpet av prosjektet ble det gjort mye
624 forskning på nettet. Det var mye jeg måtte forstå rundt hvordan
625 operativsystemet Linux fungerte før jeg kunne angripe
626 problemet. Prøvde først å finne ut hvordan man kunne transformere en
627 vanlig installasjon av Skolelinux til Raspberry PI, men dette var
628 altfor vanskelig å jeg endte opp med mer spørsmål enn svar. Det ble
629 videre opprettet kontakt med Skolelinux utviklere på IRC der jeg fikk
630 diskutert hvilken retning jeg burde gå for å få til en fullverdig
631 løsning. Det ble bestemt at jeg skulle gå for å først installere
632 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.raspbian.org/&quot;&gt;Raspian&lt;/a&gt;. Dette er et
633 operativsystem basert på Debian spesiallaget for Raspberry Pi sin
634 maskinvare. Nå som Debian var installert på datamaskinen gjenstod det
635 å installere de nødvendige Skolelinux pakkene for å få til et
636 fullverdig system. Disse pakkene ble installert manuelt i første
637 omgang, men ble senere installert automatisk via et script som Petter
638 Reinholdtsen laget. Dette scriptet er så enkel å bruke at man er i
639 gang med installasjonen i løpet av bare 5 minutter. Ikke nok med det,
640 alt skjer helt automatisk. Alt i alt er jeg veldig fornøyd med
641 resultatet av installasjonsprosessen. Raspberry Pi er en veldig svak
642 maskin og det merkes godt når man har installert Skolelinux på
643 den. Video og 3D-rendering fungerer utrolig dårlig, men nettsurfing og
644 kontorprogrammer fungerer godt. Det kan derfor konkluderes med at
645 datamaskinen er egnet for enkle oppgaver.
646
647 &lt;p&gt;Jeg syns det er viktig påpeke at dette kun er startfasen av en slik
648 løsning. På markedet finnes det nå maskiner som har bedre hardware enn
649 Raspberry Pi. Det er store muligheter for at man kan klare å
650 installere Skolelinux på disse også, og da forsvinner nok mest
651 sannsynlig ytelsesproblemene med Video og 3D rendering også.&lt;/p&gt;
652
653 &lt;p&gt;Det ble også prøvd med en løsning som gjorde at Raspberry Pi
654 fungerte som en tynnklient. Denne løsningen hadde langt bedre ytelse
655 med tanke på hastighet og brukeropplevelse. Men også her var video og
656 3D rendering dårlig. Det ble brukt en liten Linux distribusjon kalt
657 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.berryterminal.com/&quot;&gt;BerryTerminal&lt;/a&gt; for å få til
658 dette.&lt;/p&gt;
659
660 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hva er fordelene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
661
662 &lt;p&gt;Fordelen med Skolelinux er mange. At det er gratis er en stor
663 fordel, men at det er så mange som er med på å utvikle det og
664 vedlikeholde det er en enda større fordel. Allerede før jeg startet
665 med prosjektet så jeg mange fordeler, og når jeg nærmet meg sluttfasen
666 så jeg langt flere. At prosjektet skulle inneha en så høy kvalitet
667 hadde jeg aldri trodd. En vanlig Skolelinux installasjon har de
668 nødvendige programmene og funksjonen som både små og store skoler i
669 tillegg til organisasjoner kan klare seg med. At prosjektet tilbyr en
670 så komplett løsning er en kjempefordel. Installasjonen er knirkefri
671 og det er svært enkelt å installere og komme i gang.&lt;/p&gt;
672
673 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hva er ulempene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
674
675 &lt;p&gt;Ulempene jeg ser med prosjektet er ryddigheten av websidene. Selv
676 om websidene er enkle og konsise er det allikevel ikke appellerende i
677 like stor grad som for eksempel
678 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ubuntu.com&quot;&gt;Ubuntu&lt;/a&gt; sine sider. Deres side
679 tilbyr, i tillegg til godt design og presentasjon, en nettbasert
680 emulator av deres operativsystem. Dette er en stor fordel slik jeg ser
681 det. Bortsett fra dette ser jeg absolutt ingen ulemper med
682 Skolelinux-prosjektet.&lt;/p&gt;
683
684 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hvilken fri programvare bruker du til daglig?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
685
686 &lt;p&gt;Til daglig er jeg en flittig bruker av det åpne media
687 sentersystemet &lt;a href=&quot;http://xbmc.org/&quot;&gt;XBMC&lt;/a&gt;. Det enorme
688 samfunnet rundt dette prosjektet har gjort dette til et program som
689 dekker alles behov. Man kan tilpasse det akkurat slik man vil både med
690 tanke på utseende og funksjoner ved installere plug-ins eller
691 scripts.&lt;/p&gt;
692
693 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hvilken strategi tror du er den rette å bruke for å få
694 skoler til å ta i bruk fri programvare?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
695
696 &lt;p&gt;Strategien som burde brukes sett fra mine øyne er
697 markedsføring. Jeg er sikker på at om flere skoler fikk et lite innsyn
698 i hvor bra Skolelinux er så ville de ikke nølt med å gå over fra noe
699 annet som koster de store summer. At skolelinux til de grader tilbyr
700 en så komplett løsning bure komme frem. Enten via reklamekampanjer
701 eller ved å sende ut folk til skoler for så å la skolenettverk
702 ansvarlige få teste ut hvordan Skolelinux fungerer i praksis. Om det
703 i tillegg ble utviklet gode websider og en emulator for å la brukere
704 prøve operativsystemet ville nok dette ha styrket inntrykket
705 betraktelig.&lt;/p&gt;

714 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu / Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt; is
715 an operating system based on Debian intended for use in schools. It
716 contain a turn-key solution for the computer network provided to
717 pupils in the primary schools. It provide both the central server,
718 network boot servers and desktop environments with heaps of
719 educational software. The project was founded almost 12 years ago,
720 2001-07-02. If you want to support the project, which is in need for
721 cash to fund developer gatherings and other project related activity,
722 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.linuxiskolen.no/slxdebianlabs/donations.html&quot;&gt;please
723 donate some money&lt;/a&gt;.
724
725 &lt;p&gt;A topic that come up again and again on the Debian Edu mailing
726 lists and elsewhere, is the question on how to transform a Debian or
727 Ubuntu installation into a Debian Edu installation. It isn&#39;t very
728 hard, and last week I wrote a script to replicate the steps done by
729 the Debian Edu installer.&lt;/p&gt;
730
731 &lt;p&gt;The script,
732 &lt;a href=&quot;http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-edu/branches/wheezy/debian-edu-config/share/debian-edu-config/tools/debian-edu-bless?view=markup&quot;&gt;debian-edu-bless&lt;a/&gt;
733 in the debian-edu-config package, will go through these six steps and
734 transform an existing Debian Wheezy or Ubuntu (untested) installation
735 into a Debian Edu Workstation:&lt;/p&gt;
736
737 &lt;ol&gt;
738
739 &lt;li&gt;Add skolelinux related APT sources.&lt;/li&gt;
740 &lt;li&gt;Create /etc/debian-edu/config with the wanted configuration.&lt;/li&gt;
741 &lt;li&gt;Install debian-edu-install to load preseeding values and pull in
742 our configuration.&lt;/li&gt;
743 &lt;li&gt;Preseed debconf database with profile setup in
744 /etc/debian-edu/config, and run tasksel to install packages
745 according to the profile specified in the config above,
746 overriding some of the Debian automation machinery.&lt;/li&gt;
747 &lt;li&gt;Run debian-edu-cfengine-D installation to configure everything
748 that could not be done using preseeding.&lt;/li&gt;
749 &lt;li&gt;Ask for a reboot to enable all the configuration changes.&lt;/li&gt;
750
751 &lt;/ol&gt;
752
753 &lt;p&gt;There are some steps in the Debian Edu installation that can not be
754 replicated like this. Disk partitioning and LVM setup, for example.
755 So this script just assume there is enough disk space to install all
756 the needed packages.&lt;/p&gt;
757
758 &lt;p&gt;The script was created to help a Debian Edu student working on
759 setting up &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.raspberrypi.org&quot;&gt;Raspberry Pi&lt;/a&gt; as a
760 Debian Edu client, and using it he can take the existing
761 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.raspbian.org/FrontPage‎&quot;&gt;Raspbian&lt;/a&gt; installation and
762 transform it into a fully functioning Debian Edu Workstation (or
763 Roaming Workstation, or whatever :).&lt;/p&gt;
764
765 &lt;p&gt;The default setting in the script is to create a KDE Workstation.
766 If a LXDE based Roaming workstation is wanted instead, modify the
767 PROFILE and DESKTOP values at the top to look like this instead:&lt;/p&gt;
768
769 &lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
770 PROFILE=&quot;Roaming-Workstation&quot;
771 DESKTOP=&quot;lxde&quot;
772 &lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
773
774 &lt;p&gt;The script could even become useful to set up Debian Edu servers in
775 the cloud, by starting with a virtual Debian installation at some
776 virtual hosting service and setting up all the services on first
777 boot.&lt;/p&gt;

786 <description>&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu / Skolelinux
787 project&lt;/a&gt; is making great progress and made its second Wheezy based
788 release today. This is the release announcement:&lt;/p&gt;
789
790 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New features for Debian Edu 7.0.0 alpha1 released
791 2013-05-14&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
792
793 &lt;p&gt;This is the release notes for for Debian Edu / Skolelinux 7.0.0 edu
794 alpha1, based on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.debian.org&quot;&gt;Debian&lt;/a&gt; with
795 codename &quot;Wheezy&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
796
797 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Debian Edu and Skolelinux&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
798
799 &lt;p&gt;Debian Edu, also known as Skolelinux, is a Linux distribution based
800 on Debian providing an out-of-the box environment of a completely
801 configured school network. Immediatly after installation a school
802 server running all services needed for a school network is set up just
803 waiting for users and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable
804 Web-UI. A netbooting environment is prepared using PXE, so after
805 initial installation of the main server from CD, DVD or USB stick all
806 other machines can be installed via the network.&lt;/p&gt;
807
808 &lt;p&gt;This is the first test release based on Wheezy (which currently is
809 not released yet). Basically this is an updated and slightly improved
810 version compared to the Squeeze release.&lt;/p&gt;
811
812 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Software updates&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
813 &lt;ul&gt;
814 &lt;li&gt;Install freemind (0.9.0) by default, and stop installing vym by
815 default.&lt;/li&gt;
816 &lt;li&gt;Install chromium (26.0.1410.43) by default.&lt;/li&gt;
817 &lt;li&gt;Install goplay (0.5-1.1) to make golearn available by default.&lt;/li&gt;
818 &lt;li&gt;Updated support for Japanese input methods, now based on
819 ibus-anthy.&lt;/li&gt;
820 &lt;/ul&gt;
821
822 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other changes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
823 &lt;ul&gt;
824
825 &lt;li&gt;Switched default file system from ext3 to ext4 for speed and
826 reliability improvements.&lt;/li&gt;
827 &lt;li&gt;Got rid of unwanted winbind daemon and PAM setup activated because
828 of &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/706434&quot;&gt;706434&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
829 &lt;li&gt;Extended and improved the testsuite tests to detect more possible
830 problems.&lt;/li&gt;
831 &lt;li&gt;Corrected proxy handling to not set http_proxy to a bogus
832 direct:// URL.&lt;/li&gt;
833 &lt;li&gt;Corrected proxy setup for diskless workstations.&lt;/li&gt;
834 &lt;li&gt;Corrected PXE setup to use our updated udebs during installation.&lt;/li&gt;
835 &lt;li&gt;Made installation handling of low entropy level more robust.&lt;/li&gt;
836 &lt;li&gt;Create larger partitions for Roaming workstations and Thin client
837 servers, to make room for all the software installed.&lt;/li&gt;
838 &lt;li&gt;Fix bug in Roaming workstation PAM setup, making it impossible to
839 log in (&lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/706753&quot;&gt;706753&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/li&gt;
840 &lt;/ul&gt;
841
842 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Known issues&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
843 &lt;ul&gt;
844
845 &lt;li&gt;IP resolution for the local hostname give useless IPv6 address
846 (&lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/705900&quot;&gt;705900&lt;/a&gt;). Only install
847 libnss-myhostname on roaming workstations until it is fixed.&lt;/li&gt;
848 &lt;li&gt;DVD images are not yet ready.&lt;/li&gt;
849 &lt;li&gt;No mass import of user account data in GOsa (ldif or csv)
850 available yet (&lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/698840&quot;&gt;698840&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/li&gt;
851 &lt;li&gt;Missing artwork for the KDE desktop (and probably a few others).&lt;/li&gt;
852 &lt;li&gt;KDE Debian submenu lacks icons.&lt;/li&gt;
853 &lt;li&gt;LXDE menu lacks entry for changing GOsa password
854 (website). Installing gosa-desktop will be an option.&lt;/li&gt;
855 &lt;li&gt;Backup configuration via web interface is impossible due to
856 password submission problem
857 (&lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/700257&quot;&gt;700257&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/li&gt;
858
859 &lt;/ul&gt;
860
861 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where to get it&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
