  24       <div class="date">17th March 2013</div>
  25       <div class="body"><p>Via
  26 <a href="https://twitter.com/pcwizz/status/313044373262716930">twitter</a>
  27 I just discovered that <a href="http://pcwizz.net/">Pcwizz</a> have
  28 done a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPzTZ61Pcuc">video
  29 review</a> on Youtube of <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux
  30 / Debian Edu</a> version 6.  He installed the standalone profile and
  31 the video show a walk-through of of the menu content, demonstration of
  32 a few programs and his view of our distribution.</p>
  33
  34 <p>There is also some really nice quotes (transcribed by me, might
  35 have heard wrong).  While looking thought the Graphics menu:</p>
  36
  37 <blockquote>
  38 "Basically everything you ever need in a school environment."
  39 </blockquote>
  40
  41 <p>And as a general evaluation of the entire distribution:</p>
  42
  43 <blockquote>
  44 "So, yeah, a bit bloated.  It kept all the Debian stuff in there, just
  45 to keep it nice and GNU.  So, I do not want to go on about it, but
  46 lets give it 7 out of 10.  I am not going to use it.  That is because
  47 I am not deploying a school network.  There may be some mythical
  48 feature to help you deploy Skolelinux on a school network."
  49 </blockquote>
  50
  51 <p>To bad he did not test the server profile, and discovered the PXE
  52 installation option.  It make it possible to install only the main
  53 server from CD, and the rest of the machines via the net, and might be
  54 considered the mythical feature he talk about. :)</p>
  55
  56 <p>While looking through the menus, there is also this funny comment
  57 about the part of the K menu generated from the Debian menu subsystem:
  58
  59 <blockquote>
  60 "[The K menu] have a special Debian section for software that no-one
  61 is going to look at, because it contain lots of junky stuff that you
  62 actually don't need in the education distribution, but have just been
  63 included because it isn't stripped out for some reason."
  64 </blockquote>
  65
  66 <p>I guess it is yet another argument for merging the Debian menu and
  67 Gnome/KDE desktop menu entries into
  68 <a href="http://wiki.debian.org/Proposals/DebianMenuUsingDesktopEntries">one
  69 consistent menu system</a> instead of two incomplete and partly
  70 inconsistent menu systems.</p>
