This is a wise conslusion, yes. And there is yet a difference between what desktop I want to present to "my" pupils - and what might be demanded by schools in general. > If you (be it either "Ralf and his school" or "Debian Edu") decide to > "run ahead" and attempt doing more bleeding edge releases than the > slow and boring Debian ones, then feel free to do so. First of all: I'd never regard Debian to be boring; I use it myself (however mostly its unstable and experimental branch). Looking back to my first installation (2.0-pre) might be a good example for the point of view of a local administrator: Skolelinux 1.0 was quite ancient two years ago (KDE 2.x), but Skolelinux 2.0 was not yet released. Usually, our images are not updated within 1-2 years. Hence, using "too stable" desktops would bring you to a situation where your system is 3-4 years old. From the point of Debian Edu as distribution, it appears desirable that in cases where a sysadmin makes a decision for a more recent system, he has a chance to stick to Debian (actually I think it is possible to get a install CD of Debian Sid?). This gives us a chance to get feedbacks in advance for our next release. So maybe I should just ask, where to get the most recent builds for lenny - and if there are any test reports available yet. Sorry if I failed to follow any news - only recently I have some spare time (called holidays). Thanks for reading.
