  23       <div class="title">First Debian Edu test release (alpha0) based on Squeeze is released</div>
  24       <div class="date">27th July 2010</div>
  25       <div class="body"><p>I just posted this announcement culminating several months of work
  26 with the next Debian Edu release.  Not nearly done, but one major step
  27 completed.</p>
  28
  29 <blockquote>
  30 <p>This is the first test release based on Squeeze. The focus of this
  31 release is to test the user application selection. To have a look,
  32 install the standalone profile and let the developers know if the set
  33 of installed packages i.e. applications should be modified. If some
  34 user application is missing, or if there are some applications that no
  35 longer make sense to be included in Debian Edu, please let us know.
  36 Also, if a useful application is missing the translation for your
  37 language of choice, please let us know too.</p>
  38
  39 <p>In addition, feedback and help to polish the desktop (menus,
  40 artwork, starters, etc.) is appreciated. We would like to ship a nice
  41 and handy KDE4 desktop targeted for schools out of the box.</p>
  42
  43 <p>The other profiles should be installable, but there is a lot more
  44 work left to be done before they are ready, so do not expect to
  45 much.</p>
  46
  47 <p>Changes compared to the lenny based version</p>
  48
  49 <ul>
  50 <li>Everything from Debian Squeeze
  51 <ul>
  52   <li>Desktop environment KDE 4.4 => the new KDE desktop in
  53          combination with some new artwork
  54   <li>Web browser Iceweasel 3.5
  55   <li>OpenOffice.org 3.2
  56   <li>Educational toolbox GCompris 9.3
  57   <li>Music creator Rosegarden 10.04.2
  58   <li>Image editor Gimp 2.6.10
  59   <li>Virtual universe Celestia 1.6.0
  60   <li>Virtual stargazer Stellarium 0.10.4
  61   <li>3D modeler Blender 2.49.2 (new application)
  62   <li>Video editor Kdenlive 0.7.7 (new application)
  63 </ul></li>
  64 <li>Now using Kerberos for password checking (migration not finished).
  65     Enabled for:
  66 <ul>
  67   <li>PAM
  68   <li>LDAP
  69   <li>IMAP
  70   <li>SMTP (sender verification)
  71 </ul>
  72 </li>
  73 <li>New experimental roaming workstation profile for laptops.</li>
  74 <li>Show welcome page to users when they first log in. The URL is
  75     fetched from LDAP.</li>
  76 <li>New LXDE desktop option, in addition to KDE (default) and Gnome.</li>
  77 <li>General cleanup (not finished)</li>
  78 </ul>
  79 <p>The following features are not working as they should</p>
  80
  81 <ul>
  82 <li>No web based administration tool for creating users and groups. The
  83     scripts ldap-createuser-krb and ldap-add-user-to-group can be used
  84     for testing.</li>
  85 <li>DVD installs are missing debian-installer images for the PXE boot,
  86     and do not set up the PXE menu on eth0 because of this. LTSP
  87     clients should still boot from eth1 on thin client servers.</li>
  88 <li>The restructured KDE menu is not implemented.</li>
  89 <li>The LDAP server setup need to be reviewed for security.</li>
  90 <li>The LDAP directory structure need to be reworked.</li>
  91 <li>Different sets of packages are installed when using the DVD and the
  92     netinst CD. More packages are installed using the netinst CD.</li>
  93 <li>The jackd package fail to install. This is believed to be caused by
  94     some ongoing transition, and hopefully should be solved soon. The
  95     jackd1 package can be installed manually for those that need it.</li>
  96 <li>Some packages lack translations. See
  97     http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Status/Squeeze for updated status,
  98     and help out with translations.</li>
  99 </ul>
