Dette har ført til debatt om PC-tilgangen i +skolen, og om de med Linux i skolen gjør det bedre bedre eller +dårligere enn snittet i landet.</p> + +<p>Nå har vi tallene. Skoler med Linux har 36% større PC-tetthet en +landsgjennomsnittet. På spørsmål hvorfor skoler med Linux har større +PC-tetthet, observerer Paul Reidar Løsnesløkken som er IKT-konsulent i +Nord-Odal:</p> + +<p><blockquote>"Vi erfarer at klienter med Skolelinux har god funksjon +til de er 8 til 10 år gamle. Dette er omtrent dobbelt så lenge som +andre løsninger, og skolene får mer datautstyr for +pengene."</blockquote></p> + +<p>Undersøkelsen baserer seg på 56 skoler som har gjort det offentlig +at de kjører Skolelinux eller annen Linux-utgave. De kan også ha PC-er +med Windows i skolenettet. Når en sammenligner PC-tetthetene på +skolene i kommunene Flora, Harstad, Kongsvinger, Narvik, Nittedal, +Nord-Odal og Randaberg, er det i snitt 2,28 elev pr. PC på skolene med +Linux. På landsbasis er det 3.11 elev per PC i grunnskolen, i følge +side 95 i Monitor-rapporten for 2011. Målingen viser dermed 36% større +PC-tetthet i skoler med Linux.</p> + +<p><strong>Om Skolelinux/Debian Edu</strong></p> + +<p>Skolelinux har til hensikt å gi alle barn full tilgang til +skoleaktuelle dataprogram på sitt eget morsmål. Derfor følger det med +godt over 100 skoleaktuelle programmene laget for læring. De fleste +programmene er oversatt til over 50 språk. Elevene skal også kunne +studere alle sider av dataprogrammene. Derfor følger også kildekode +med. Elever med interesse kan lære av eksperter som har laget +systemet. Dette med enkelt programmering i læreprogram som KTurtle, +til profesjonelle verktøy som Qt Creator eller Java.</p> + +<p>Skolelinux er laget for sentralisert drift, der alt teknisk +administrasjon av alle skolene kan gjøres sentralt fra kommunehuset +eller sentralt i en region. F.eks. drifter to-tre personer 70.000 +skoledatamaskiner på 200 skoler i delstaten Extremadura i +Spania. Etter velykket bruk av Debian Edu i skolen, legger delstaten +over til Debian på 40.000 datamaskiner i administrasjonen.

This was so popular that I believe it is time to move to a -more international audience.</p> - -<p>While <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu and -Skolelinux</a> originated in France and Norway, and have most users in -Europe, there are users all around the globe. One of those far away -from me is Nigel Barker, a long time Debian Edu system administrator -and contributor. It is thanks to him that Debian Edu is adjusted to -work out of the box in Japan. I got him to answer a few questions, -and am happy to share the response with you. :) - - -<p><strong>Who are you, and how do you spend your days?</strong></p> - -<p>My name is Nigel Barker, and I am British. I am married to Yumiko, -and we have three lovely children, aged 15, 14 and 4(!) I am the IT -Coordinator at Hiroshima International School, Japan. I am also a -teacher, and in fact I spend most of my day teaching Mathematics, -Science, IT, and Chemistry. I was originally a Chemistry teacher, but -I have always had an interest in computers. Another teacher teaches -primary school IT, but apart from that I am the only computer person, -so that means I am the network manager, technician and webmaster, -also, and I help people with their computer problems. I teach python -to beginners in an after-school club. I am way too busy, so I really -appreciate the simplicity of Skolelinux.</p> - -<p><strong>How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux/Debian Edu -project?</strong></p> - -<p>In around 2004 or 5 I discovered the ltsp project, and set up a -server in the IT lab. I wanted some way to connect it to our central -samba server, which I was also quite poor at configuring. I discovered -Edubuntu when it came out, but it didn't really improve my setup. I -did various desperate searches for things like "school Linux server" -and ended up in a document called "Drift" something or other. Reading -there it became clear that Skolelinux was going to solve all my -problems in one go. I was very excited, but apprehensive, because my -previous attempts to install Debian had ended in failure (I used -Mandrake for everything - ltsp, samba, apache, mail, ns...). I -downloaded a beta version, had some problems, so subscribed to the -Debian Edu list for help. I have remained subscribed ever since, and -my school has run a Skolelinux network since Sarge.</p> - -<p><strong>What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux/Debian -Edu?</strong></p> - -<p>For me the integrated setup. This is not just the server, or the -workstation, or the ltsp. Its all of them, and its all configured -ready to go. I read somewhere in the early documentation that it is -designed to be setup and managed by the Maths or Science teacher, who -doesn't necessarily know much about computers, in a small Norwegian -school. That describes me perfectly if you replace Norway with -Japan.</p> - -<p><strong>What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux/Debian -Edu?</strong></p> - -<p>The desktop is fairly plain. If you compare it with Edubuntu, who -have fun themes for children, or with distributions such as Mint, who -make the desktop beautiful. They create a good impression on people -who don't need to understand how to use any of it, but who might be -important to the school. School administrators or directors, for -instance, or parents. Even kids. Debian itself usually has ugly -default theme settings. It was my dream a few years back that some -kind of integration would allow Edubuntu to do the desktop stuff and -Debian Edu the servers, but now I realise how impossible that is. A -second disadvantage is that if something goes wrong, or you need to -customise something, then suddenly the level of expertise required -multiplies. For example, backup wasn't working properly in Lenny. It -took me ages to learn how to set up my own server to do rsync backups. -I am afraid of anything to do with ldap, but perhaps Gosa will -help.</p> - -<p><strong>Which free software do you use daily?</strong></p> - -<p>Nowadays I only use Debian on my personal computers. I have one for -studio work (I play guitar and write songs), running AV Linux -(customised Debian) a netbook running Squeeze, and a bigger laptop -still running Skolelinux Lenny workstation. I have a Tjener in my -house, that's very useful for the family photos and music. At school -the students only use Skolelinux. (Some teachers and the office still -have windows). So that means we only use free software all day every -day. Open office, The GIMP, Firefox/Iceweasel, VLC and Audacity are -installed on every computer in school, irrespective of OS. We also -have Koha on Debian for the library, and Apache, Moodle, b2evolution -and Etomite on Debian for the www. The firewall is Untangle.</p> - -<p><strong>Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to -get schools to use free software?</strong></p> - -<p>Current trends are in our favour. Open source is big in industry, -and ordinary people have heard of it. The spread of Android and the -popularity of Apple have helped to weaken the impression that you have -to have Microsoft on everything. People complain to me much less about -file formats and Word than they did 5 years ago. The Edu aspect is -also a selling point. This is all customised for schools. Where is the -Windows-edu, or the Mac-edu? But of course the main attraction is -budget.The trick is to convince people that the quality is not -compromised when you stop paying and use free software instead. That -is one reason why I say the desktop experience is a weakness. People -are not impressed when their USB drive doesn't work, or their browser -doesn't play flash, for example.</p> - - -
