+I just discovered that <a href="http://pcwizz.net/">Pcwizz</a> have
+done a videoreview of <a href="http://www.skolelinux.no/">Skolelinux /
+Debian Edu</a> version 6. He installed the standalone profile and the
+video show a walk-through of of the menu content, demonstration of a
+few programs and his view of our distribution.</p>
+
+<p>There is also some really nice quotes. While looking thought the
+Graphics menu:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+"Basically everything you ever need in a school environment."
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>And as a general evaluation of the entire desktop setup:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+"So, yeah, a bit bloated. It kept all the Debian stuff in there, just
+to keep it nice and GNU. So, I do not want to go on about it, but
+lets give it 7 out of 10. I am not going to use it. That is because
+I am not deploying a school network. There may be some mythical
+feature to help you deploy Skolelinux on a school network."
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>To bad he did not test the server profile, and discovered the PXE
+installation option. It make it possible to install only the main
+server from CD, and the rest of the machines via the net, and might be
+considered the mythical feature he talk about. :)</p>
+
+<p>While looking through the menus, there is also this funny comment
+about the part of the K menu generated from the Debian menu subsystem:
+
+<blockquote>
+"We have a special Debian section for software that no-one is going to
+look at. Because it contain lots of junky stuff that you actually
+don't need in the education distribution, but have just been included
+because it isn't stripped out for some reason."
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>I guess it is yet another argument for merging the Debian menu and
+Gnome/KDE desktop menu entries into
+<a href="http://wiki.debian.org/Proposals/DebianMenuUsingDesktopEntries">one
+consistent menu system</a> instead of two incomplete and partly
+inconsistent menu systems.</p>
