Skolelinux is a Linux distribution intended for educational use and based on Debian (hence it is also named Debian-Edu).
Skolelinux is a free software project founded in Norway, now supporting all languages present in Debian. Its name is derived from the Latin word schola through Norwegian word skole (school). 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 a thin client server. In short, its major goals are to:
* Enable teachers to provide high quality IT teaching to their students. * 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. * Cut costs by using open source software and re-using old hardware. * Localize the IT infrastructure by translating the software pages to all officially-supported languages in Norway -- Nynorsk and Bokmål as well as Sami. * Identify and facilitate suitable programs for use in the schools.
