  35 <p><strong>About Debian Edu and Skolelinux</strong></p>
  36
  37 <p><a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu, also known as
  38 Skolelinux</a>, is a Linux distribution based on Debian providing an
  39 out-of-the box environment of a completely configured school
  40 network. Immediatly after installation a school server running all
  41 services needed for a school network is set up just waiting for users
  42 and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable Web-UI. A netbooting
  43 environment is prepared using PXE, so after initial installation of
  44 the main server from CD, DVD or USB stick all other machines can be
  45 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>
