  31

  36 <p><strong>About Debian Edu and Skolelinux</strong></p>
  37
  38 <p>Debian Edu, also known as Skolelinux, is a Linux distribution based
  39 on Debian providing an out-of-the box environment of a completely
  40 configured school network. Immediatly after installation a school
  41 server running all services needed for a school network is set up just
  42 waiting for users and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable
  43 Web-UI. A netbooting environment is prepared using PXE, so after
  44 initial installation of the main server from CD, DVD or USB stick all
  45 other machines can be installed via the network.</p>
  46
  47 <p>This is the first test release based on Wheezy (which currently is
  48 not released yet). Basically this is an updated and slightly improved
  49 version compared to the Squeeze release.</p>
