+today.  This is the release announcement from Holger Levsen:&lt;/p&gt;

+weekend.  We are not aware of any major problems or blockers in beta2,
+if you find something, please notify us immediately!&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;(More about the remaining steps for the Edu Wheezy release in

+
+&lt;p&gt;About Debian Edu and Skolelinux&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Debian Edu, also known as Skolelinux, is a Linux distribution based
+on Debian providing an out-of-the box environment of a completely
+configured school network. Immediately after installation a school
+server running all services needed for a school network is set up just
+waiting for users and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable
+Web-UI. A netbooting environment is prepared using PXE, so after
+initial installation of the main server from CD or USB stick all other
+machines can be installed via the network. The provided school server
+provides LDAP database and Kerberos authentication service,
+centralized home directories, DHCP server, web proxy and many other
+services.  The desktop contains more than 60 educational software
+packages and more are available from the Debian archive, and schools
+can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE and Xfce desktop environment.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;This is the seventh test release based on Debian Wheezy. Basically
+this is an updated and slightly improved version compared to the
+Squeeze release.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Notes for upgrades from Alpha Prereleases&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Alpha based installations should reinstall or downgrade the
+versions of gosa and libpam-mklocaluser to the ones used in this beta
+release. Both alpha and beta0 based installations should reinstall or
+deal with gosa.conf manually; there are two options: (1) Keep
+gosa.conf and edit this file as outlined on the mailing list. (2)
+Accept the new version of gosa.conf and replace both contained admin
+password placeholders with the password hashes found in the old one
+(backup copy!). In both cases all users need to change their password
+to make sure a password is set for CIFS access to their home
+directory.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+
+&lt;p&gt;cheers,
+&lt;br&gt;        Holger&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Half a year ago, I reported that I had to find a
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Thank_you_Thinkpad_X41__for_your_long_and_trustworthy_service.html&quot;&gt;replacement
-for my trusty old Thinkpad X41&lt;/a&gt;.  Unfortunately I did not have much
-time to spend on it, and it took a while to find a model I believe
-will do the job, but two days ago the replacement finally arrived.  I
-ended up picking a
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.linlap.com/lenovo_thinkpad_x230&quot;&gt;Thinkpad X230&lt;/a&gt;
-with SSD disk (NZDAJMN).  I first test installed Debian Edu Wheezy as
-a roaming workstation, and it seemed to work flawlessly.  But my
-second installation with encrypted disk was not as successful.  More
-on that below.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I had a hard time trying to track down a good laptop, as my most
-important requirements (robust and with a good keyboard) are never
-listed in the feature list.  But I did get good help from the search
-feature at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.prisjakt.no/&quot;&gt;Prisjakt&lt;/a&gt;, which
-allowed me to limit the list of interesting laptops based on my other
-requirements.  A bit surprising that SSD disk are not disks according
-to that search interface, so I had to drop specifying the number of
-disks from my search parameters.  I also asked around among friends to
-get their impression on keyboards and robustness.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;So the new laptop arrived, and it is quite a lot wider than the
-X41.  I am not quite convinced about the keyboard, as it is
-significantly wider than my old keyboard, and I have to stretch my
-hand a lot more to reach the edges.  But the key response is fairly
-good and the individual key shape is fairly easy to handle, so I hope
-I will get used to it.  My old X40 was starting to fail, and I really
-needed a new laptop now. :)&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Turning off the touch pad was simple.  All it took was a quick
-visit to the BIOS during boot it disable it.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;But there is a fatal problem with the laptop.  The 180 GB SSD disk
-lock up during load.  And this happen when installing Debian Wheezy
-with encrypted disk, while the disk is being filled with random data.
-I also tested to install Ubuntu Raring, and it happen there too if I
-reenable the code to fill the disk with random data (it is disabled by
-default in Ubuntu).  And the bug with is already known.  It was
-reported to Debian as &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/691427&quot;&gt;BTS
-report #691427 2012-10-25&lt;/a&gt; (journal commit I/O error on brand-new
-Thinkpad T430s ext4 on lvm on SSD).  It is also reported to the Linux
-kernel developers as
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51861&quot;&gt;Kernel bugzilla
-report #51861 2012-12-20&lt;/a&gt; (Intel SSD 520 stops working under load
-(SSDSC2BW180A3L in Lenovo ThinkPad T430s)). It is also reported on the
-Lenovo forums, both for
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T430s-Intel-SSD-520-180GB-issue/m-p/1070549&quot;&gt;T430
-2012-11-10&lt;/a&gt; and for
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x230-SATA-errors-with-180GB-Intel-520-SSD-under-heavy-write-load/m-p/1068147&quot;&gt;X230
-03-20-2013&lt;/a&gt;.  The problem do not only affect installation.  The
-reports state that the disk lock up during use if many writes are done
-on the disk, so it is much no use to work around the installation
-problem and end up with a computer that can lock up at any moment.
-There is even a
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://git.efficios.com/?p=test-ssd.git&quot;&gt;small C program
-available&lt;/a&gt; that will lock up the hard drive after running a few
-minutes by writing to a file.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I&#39;ve contacted my supplier and asked how to handle this, and after
-contacting PCHELP Norway (request 01D1FDP) which handle support
-requests for Lenovo, his first suggestion was to upgrade the disk
-firmware.  Unfortunately there is no newer firmware available from
-Lenovo, as my disk already have the most recent one (version LF1i).  I
-hope to hear more from him today and hope the problem can be
-fixed. :)&lt;/p&gt;
