  32         <p>I am happy to announce that finally we managed today to wrap up and
  33 publish the third beta version of
  34 <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu / Skolelinux</a> based
  35 on Squeeze.  If you want to test a LDAP backed Kerberos server with
  36 out of the box PXE configuration for running diskless machines and
  37 installing new machines, check it out.  If you need a software
  38 solution for your school, check it out too.  The full announcement is
  39 <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu-announce/2012/02/msg00000.html">available</a>
  40 on the project announcement list.</p>
  41
  42 <p>I am very happy to report these changes and improvements since
  43 beta2 (there are more, see announcement for full list):</p>
  44
  45 <ul>
  46
  47 <li>It is now possible to change the pre-configured IP subnet from
  48   10.0.0.0/8 to something else by using the subnet-change tool after
  49   the installation.</li>
  50
  51 <li>Too full partitions are now automatically extended on the Main
  52   Server, based on the rules specified in /etc/fsautoresizetab.</li>
  53
  54 <li>The CUPS queues are now automatically flushed every night, and all
  55   disabled queues are restarted every hour.  This should cut down on
  56   the amount of manual administration needed for printers.</li>
  57
  58 <li>The set of initial users have been changed.  Now a personal user
  59   for the local system administrator is created during installation
  60   instead of the previously created localadmin and super-admin users,
  61   and this user is granted administrative privileges using group
  62   membership.  This reduces the number of passwords one need to keep
  63   up to date on the system.</li>
  64
  65 </ul>
  66
  67 <p>The new main server seem to work so well that I am testing it as my
  68 private DNS/LDAP/Kerberos/PXE/LTSP server at home.  I will use it look
  69 for issues we could fix to polish Debian Edu even further before the
  70 final Squeeze release is published.</p>
  71
  72 <p>Next weekend the project organise a
  73 <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu-announce/2012/01/msg00001.html">developer
  74 gathering</a> in Oslo.  We will continue the work on the Squeeze
  75 version, and start initial planning for the Wheezy version.  Perhaps I
  76 will see you there?</p>
