Skolelinux

Skolelinux/Debian-Edu is an operating system intended for educational use and a Debian Pure Blend. The free and open source software project was founded in Norway in 2001 and is by now being internationally developed. Its name is a direct translation of "school linux" from Norwegian, skole derived from the Latin word schola.

Design and principles

Skolelinux offers four different installation profiles on one compact disk that will easily install a pre-configured educational network, including a main server, workstations and Thin client-servers. In short, its major goals are to:

  • Create a Linux distribution tailored for schools – based on their needs and resources.
    • Simplify maintenance of computer facilities.
    • Provide a thin client-solution, which eases maintenance, reduces costs and allows use of old hardware.
