+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Via
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/pcwizz/status/313044373262716930&quot;&gt;twitter&lt;/a&gt;
+I just discovered that &lt;a href=&quot;http://pcwizz.net/&quot;&gt;Pcwizz&lt;/a&gt; have
+done a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPzTZ61Pcuc&quot;&gt;video
+review&lt;/a&gt; on Youtube of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.no/&quot;&gt;Skolelinux
+/ Debian Edu&lt;/a&gt; version 6.  He installed the standalone profile and
+the video show a walk-through of of the menu content, demonstration of
+a few programs and his view of our distribution.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;There is also some really nice quotes (transcribed by me, might
+have heard wrong).  While looking thought the Graphics menu:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;blockquote&gt;
+&quot;Basically everything you ever need in a school environment.&quot;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;And as a general evaluation of the entire distribution:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;blockquote&gt;
+&quot;So, yeah, a bit bloated.  It kept all the Debian stuff in there, just
+to keep it nice and GNU.  So, I do not want to go on about it, but
+lets give it 7 out of 10.  I am not going to use it.  That is because
+I am not deploying a school network.  There may be some mythical
+feature to help you deploy Skolelinux on a school network.&quot;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;To bad he did not test the server profile, and discovered the PXE
+installation option.  It make it possible to install only the main
+server from CD, and the rest of the machines via the net, and might be
+considered the mythical feature he talk about. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;While looking through the menus, there is also this funny comment
+about the part of the K menu generated from the Debian menu subsystem:
+
+&lt;blockquote&gt;
+&quot;[The K menu] have a special Debian section for software that no-one
+is going to look at, because it contain lots of junky stuff that you
+actually don&#39;t need in the education distribution, but have just been
+included because it isn&#39;t stripped out for some reason.&quot;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I guess it is yet another argument for merging the Debian menu and
+Gnome/KDE desktop menu entries into
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.debian.org/Proposals/DebianMenuUsingDesktopEntries&quot;&gt;one
+consistent menu system&lt;/a&gt; instead of two incomplete and partly
+inconsistent menu systems.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The entire video is available below for those accepting iframe
+embedding:&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;p&gt;With kids in the house, one challenge is getting them to sleep
-during the night and wake up when it is morning.  I mean, when I
-believe it is morning, and not two hours earlier.  In our household we
-have decided that 07:00 is the turning point, but getting the kids to
-sleep until 07:00 is a small challenge every day.  They have adapted
-quite well, and rarely wake up at 05:00 any more, but some times wake
-up at times like 05:50, 06:15, 06:30 or 06:45, and it is hard to put
-the awake one to bed again without disturbing and waking the rest.
-And I understand perfectly well that they fail to sleep until 07:00
-some times, as there is no way for them to know if it is before or
-after the magic moment without coming and asking us parents.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;But yesterday I came up with a method to solve this problem.  It
-involve home automation.  A few years ago I bought a
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.telldus.se/products/tellstick&quot;&gt;Tellstick&lt;/a&gt; and RF
-switches at the local &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.clasohlson.com/&quot;&gt;Clas
-Ohlson&lt;/a&gt; shop, allowing me to control lights and other electrical
-gadgets using my Linux server.  When I moved from the old flat to a
-small house, I put away all this equipment as most of the lighting in
-the house was not using wall sockets and thus not easy to connect to
-the gadgets I had.  But recently I bought a
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.telldus.se/products/tellstick_net&quot;&gt;Tellstick
-Net&lt;/a&gt; to be able to read sensor input as well as control power
-sockets.  I want to control ovens in the basement to avoid the pipes
-to freeze, and monitor the humidity to detect flooding.  The default
-setup for Tellstick Net is to be controlled by the vendor web service,
-which to me is a security problem, but it is also possible to build
-ones own
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.telldus.com/blog/2012/03/02/help-us-develop-local-access-using-tellstick-net-build-your-own-firmware&quot;&gt;firmware
-with local access&lt;/A&gt; instead of being controlled by a Swedish
-company, thanks to the release of the GPL licensed firmware source
-code.  I plan to get that running before I let it control anything
-important.  But while working on this, one idea to make it easier for
-the kids came to me yesterday.  We can set up a night light controlled
-by the computer, and turn it automatically on at 07:00.  The kids can
-then check the light in the morning to know if they are supposed to
-get up or not.  They joined me in setting everything up, and I
-repeated the concept several times before bed times to make sure they
-remembered to check the light before getting up in the morning.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;We tested it this morning, and all the kids stayed in bed until
-after 07:00, and every one of them commented on the fact that the
-&quot;morning light&quot; was turned on and signalled that the morning had
-arrived.  So this look like a success, and I am excited to see how
-this develops the next few days. :) I really hope this can allow us
-all to sleep a bit longer in the morning.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;A nice advantage of this setup is that we can remote control when
-to tell the kids to get up.  We do not have to wait until 07:00, and
-can also delay it if we want to.&lt;/p&gt;
