Not nearly done, but one major step +completed.</p> + +<blockquote> +<p>This is the first test release based on Squeeze. The focus of this +release is to test the user application selection. To have a look, +install the standalone profile and let the developers know if the set +of installed packages i.e. applications should be modified. If some +user application is missing, or if there are some applications that no +longer make sense to be included in Debian Edu, please let us know. +Also, if a useful application is missing the translation for your +language of choice, please let us know too.</p> + +<p>In addition, feedback and help to polish the desktop (menus, +artwork, starters, etc.) is appreciated. We would like to ship a nice +and handy KDE4 desktop targeted for schools out of the box.</p> + +<p>The other profiles should be installable, but there is a lot more +work left to be done before they are ready, so do not expect to +much.</p> + +<p>Changes compared to the lenny based version</p> + +<ul> +<li>Everything from Debian Squeeze +<ul> + <li>Desktop environment KDE 4.4 => the new KDE desktop in + combination with some new artwork + <li>Web browser Iceweasel 3.5 + <li>OpenOffice.org 3.2 + <li>Educational toolbox GCompris 9.3 + <li>Music creator Rosegarden 10.04.2 + <li>Image editor Gimp 2.6.10 + <li>Virtual universe Celestia 1.6.0 + <li>Virtual stargazer Stellarium 0.10.4 + <li>3D modeler Blender 2.49.2 (new application) + <li>Video editor Kdenlive 0.7.7 (new application) +</ul></li> +<li>Now using Kerberos for password checking (migration not finished). + Enabled for: +<ul> + <li>PAM + <li>LDAP + <li>IMAP + <li>SMTP (sender verification) +</ul> +</li> +<li>New experimental roaming workstation profile for laptops.</li> +<li>Show welcome page to users when they first log in.
