  36 2013-07-03</strong></p>

  41 <p><strong>About Debian Edu and Skolelinux</strong></p>
  42
  43 <p><a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu, also known as
  44 Skolelinux</a>, is a Linux distribution based on Debian providing an
  45 out-of-the box environment of a completely configured school
  46 network. Immediately after installation a school server running all
  47 services needed for a school network is set up just waiting for users
  48 and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable Web-UI. A netbooting
  49 environment is prepared using PXE, so after initial installation of
  50 the main server from CD, DVD or USB stick all other machines can be
  51 installed via the network. The provided school server provides LDAP
  52 database and Kerberos authentication service, centralized home
  53 directories, DHCP server, web proxy and many other services. The
  54 desktop contains
  55 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Educational_applications_included_in_Debian_Edu___Skolelinux__the_screenshot_collection____.html">more
  56 than 60 educational software packages</a> and more are available from
  57 the Debian archive, and schools can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE
  58 and Xfce desktop environment.</p>
  59
  60 <p>This is the fourth test release based on Debian Wheezy. Basically
  61 this is an updated and slightly improved version compared to the
  62 Squeeze release.</p>
  63
  64 <p><strong>Software updates</strong></p>
  65 <ul>
  66   <li>Dropped ispell dictionaries from our default installation.</li>
  67   <li>Dropped menu-xdg from the KDE desktop option, to drop the Debian
  68     submenu.  It was not included with Gnome, LXDE or Xfce, so this
  69     brings KDE in line with the others.</li>
  70   <li>Dropped xdrawchem, xjig and xsok from our default installation as
  71     they don't have a desktop menu entry and thus won't show up in the
  72     menu now that menu-xdg was removed.</li>
  73   <li>Removed the killer system to kill left behind processes on
  74     multi-user machines, as it was no longer able to understand when a
  75     X display was in use and killed the processes of the active users
  76     too.</li>
  77   <li>Dropped the golearn (from goplay) package as the debtags in wheezy
  78     are too few to make the package useful.</li>
  79 </ul>
  80 <p><strong>Other changes</strong></p>
  81 <ul>
  82   <li>Updated artwork matching http://wiki.debian.org/DebianArt/Themes/Joy
  83   <li>Multi-arch i386/amd64 USB stick ISO available.</li>
  84   <li>Got rid of ispell/wordlist related debconf questions that showed
  85     up for some language options.</li>
  86   <li>Switched to using http.debian.net as APT source by default.</li>
  87   <li>Fixed proxy configuration on Main Server installations.</li>
  88   <li>Changed LTSP setup to ask dpkg to use force-unsafe-io the same way
  89     d-i is doing it.</li>
  90   <li>Made sure root and user passwords were not left behind in the
  91     debconf database after installation on Main Server installations.</li>
  92   <li>Made Roaming Workstation dynamic setup more robust and added draft
  93     script setup-ad-client to hook a Roaming Workstation up to a
  94     Active Directory server instead of a Debian Edu Main Server.</li>
  95   <li>Update system to install needed firmware packages during
  96     installation, to work properly in Wheezy.</li>
  97   <li>Update system to handle hardware quirks (debian-edu-hwsetup).</li>
  98   <li>Corrected PXE installation setup to properly pass selected desktop
  99     and keymap settings to PXE installation clients.</li>
 100   <li>LTSP diskless workstations use sshfs by default, allowing them to
 101     work without adding them to DNS and NIS netgroups for NFS access.</li>
 102 </ul>
 103 <p><strong>Known issues</strong></p>
 104 <ul>
 105   <li>No mass import of user account data in GOsa (ldif or csv)
 106     available yet (698840).</li>
 107   <li>Artwork not enabled for all desktops.</li>
 108 </ul>
