  24       <div class="date"> 4th February 2012</div>
  25       <div class="body"><p>I am happy to announce that finally we managed today to wrap up and
  26 publish the third beta version of
  27 <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu / Skolelinux</a> based
  28 on Squeeze.  If you want to test a LDAP backed Kerberos server with
  29 out of the box PXE configuration for running diskless machines and
  30 installing new machines, check it out.  If you need a software
  31 solution for your school, check it out too.  The full announcement is
  32 <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu-announce/2012/02/msg00000.html">available</a>
  33 on the project announcement list.</p>
  34
  35 <p>I am very happy to report these changes and improvements since
  36 beta2 (there are more, see announcement for full list):</p>
  37
  38 <ul>
  39
  40 <li>It is now possible to change the pre-configured IP subnet from
  41   10.0.0.0/8 to something else by using the subnet-change tool after
  42   the installation.</li>
  43
  44 <li>Too full partitions are now automatically extended on the Main
  45   Server, based on the rules specified in /etc/fsautoresizetab.</li>
  46
  47 <li>The CUPS queues are now automatically flushed every night, and all
  48   disabled queues are restarted every hour.  This should cut down on
  49   the amount of manual administration needed for printers.</li>
  50
  51 <li>The set of initial users have been changed.  Now a personal user
  52   for the local system administrator is created during installation
  53   instead of the previously created localadmin and super-admin users,
  54   and this user is granted administrative privileges using group
  55   membership.  This reduces the number of passwords one need to keep
  56   up to date on the system.</li>
  57
  58 </ul>
  59
  60 <p>The new main server seem to work so well that I am testing it as my
  61 private DNS/LDAP/Kerberos/PXE/LTSP server at home.  I will use it look
  62 for issues we could fix to polish Debian Edu even further before the
  63 final Squeeze release is published.</p>
  64
  65 <p>Next weekend the project organise a
  66 <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu-announce/2012/01/msg00001.html">developer
  67 gathering</a> in Oslo.  We will continue the work on the Squeeze
  68 version, and start initial planning for the Wheezy version.  Perhaps I
  69 will see you there?</p>
