+
+<p>Debian Edu, also known as Skolelinux, is a Linux distribution based

+configured school network. Immediatly after installation a school
+server running all services needed for a school network is set up just
+waiting for users and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable
+Web-UI. A netbooting environment is prepared using PXE, so after
+initial installation of the main server from CD, DVD or USB stick all
+other machines can be installed via the network.</p>
