Third Debian Edu Squeeze based release candidate, 6.0.4 edu rc3, 2012-03-04

Hi,

We are very happy to announce "Debian Edu Squeeze 6.0.4 rc3", as we believe this is what we will release as r0 very 
soon! See below for 6.0.4 r0 and 6.0.4 r1 release schedules! 

Debian Edu aka Skolelinux is a Linux distribution based on Debian providing an out-of-the box environment of a 
completely configured school network. It contains setup for a school server, PXE booting for diskless machines, 
setup for installing stationary workstations and setup for workstations that can be taken away from the school 
network.

Several educational applications like celestia, drgeo, gcompris, geogebra, kalzium, kgeography solfege and 
kgeography are included in the default desktop setup.

More information about Debian Edu is available at http://maintainer.skolelinux.org/debian-edu-doc/en/debian-edu-
squeeze-manual.html#AboutDebianEdu - Please note that this manual has been translated to various languages.

Those who already are using rc1 or rc2 can upgrade to this version using apt-get upgrade. Users upgrading from 
beta3 must make sure to keep the existing gosa.conf file for everything to keep working as expected when dpkg ask 
how to handle the changed file during upgrade.

Changes compared to rc2 version

    * Translation updates for the templates used in the installer. These templates are now available in 28 
languages!
    * Improved French and Danish language tasks.
    * Added missing last entries in PXE boot menu. (BTS 661392)
    * Correct Samba domain logon script for teachers.
    * Add new Japanese translation of welcome web page.
    * Documentation updates in the manual. 

The following features are not working as they should

    * The RDP server set up on thin-client-servers gives distorted KDE desktop at least when logging in using 
rdesktop (#608195). This is a bug in the vnc4server package, and a workaround is to use the tigervnc server 
instead..
