About Debian Edu and Skolelinux

Debian Edu, also known as Skolelinux, is a Linux distribution based on Debi=
an=20
providing an out-of-the box environment of a completely configured school=20
network. Immediately after installation a school server running all service=
s=20
needed for a school network is set up just waiting for users and machines=20
being added via GOsa=C2=B2, a comfortable Web-UI. A netbooting environment =
is=20
prepared using PXE, so after initial installation of the main server from C=
D=20
or USB stick all other machines can be installed via the network. The provi=
ded=20
school server provides LDAP database and Kerberos authentication service,=20
centralized home directories, DHCP server, web proxy and many other service=
s.=20
The desktop contains more than 60 educational software packages and more ar=
e=20
available from the Debian archive, and schools can choose between KDE, Gnom=
e,=20
LXDE and Xfce desktop environment.=20

This is the seventh test release based on Debian Wheezy. Basically this is =
an=20
updated and slightly improved version compared to the Squeeze release.=20

Notes for upgrades from Alpha Prereleases=20

Alpha based installations should reinstall or downgrade the versions of gos=
a=20
and libpam-mklocaluser to the ones used in this beta release. Both alpha an=
d=20
beta0 based installations should reinstall or deal with gosa.conf manually;=
=20
there are two options: (1) Keep gosa.conf and edit this file as outlined on=
=20
the mailing list. (2) Accept the new version of gosa.conf and replace both=
=20
contained admin password placeholders with the password hashes found in the=
=20
old one (backup copy!). In both cases all users need to change their passwo=
rd=20
to make sure a password is set for CIFS access to their home directory.=20


cheers,
