Debian Edu/Skolelinux 6.0.3 beta1 test release

Hi,

I am happy to finally announce "Debian Edu Squeeze 6.0.3 beta1"!

Complete download and installation instructions are available at 
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Squeeze/Installation

Read the "Getting Started" chapter of the manual to learn how to login for the 
first time: 
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Squeeze/GettingStarted

Please file bugs on any issues you find, and (probably somewhat additionally) 
also mention those bugs and issues on our status page at 
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Status/Squeeze

Also be aware: From February 2012, Debian Lenny will not receive security 
updates anymore. So by then, Debian Edu Squeeze _should_ be available as an 
upgrade option as well as for new installations! In other words: we have work 
to do. Now!

But please bear in mind, that there will be _nobody_ fixing bugs, writing 
documentation, doing translations or doing any other work - unless *you* do 
it!

Testing and giving feedback to [email protected] or #debian-edu on 
irc.debian.org is a very good way to start contributing! Act now :-D

If you can do more, give the manual some love. It needs it.


cheers,
	Holger
