Clear message

Edubuntu is a version of the [http://www.ubuntu.com/ Ubuntu] operating system suitable for classroom use. As an educator you'll be able to set up a computer lab, or establish an online learning environment, in an hour or less -- then administer that environment without having to become a fully-fledged Linux geek.BRBR Edubuntu is currently under development by the same development team that produces the wildly popular [http://ubuntu.com/ Ubuntu] system. It's a customized version of Ubuntu, scheduled for initial release in October 2005 at the same time as Ubuntu 5.10.

What's new?

Please remember to give us [http://wiki.edubuntu.com/PreviewReleaseFeedback feedback] of what you think of Edubuntu (good and bad) to help us to improve it for you...

What's going to be in Edubuntu?

attachment:network.png Principal design goals of Edubuntu are centralized management of configuration, users, and processes, together with facilities for working collaboratively in a classroom setting. Equally important is the gathering together of the best available free software and digital materials for education.
