The state government in my locality has decided to include free software as
part of education curriculum in government schools. But I recently came to
know that the Operating System used by the government schools are a fork of
Edubuntu GNU/Linux.
Edubuntu GNU/Linux contains binary blobs for the Linux kernel and comes
preinstalled with Mozilla Firefox and Open Office Software suite, both
rejected by GNU Project. (The fork is based on Edubuntu 10.04; So you should
not be surprised.)
The following free software programs are *ESSENTIAL* and should preferably be
available on a default/fresh install.
[1] GNU Image Manipulation Program aka GIMP and Inkscape.
[2] Sunclock
[3] Gedit
[4] Kalzium and RasMol
[5] GeoGebra
[6] Marble
[7] Kstars and Stallarium
[8] recordMyDesktop
[9] Audacity/WinFF/VLC Media Player (or any other free music player program.)
[10] OpenShot Video Editor
[11] GCompris
[12] QGIS
[13] Python programing IDLE preferably with wxGlade GUI designer.
[14] Tupi
[15] KompoZer
[16] kTechLab
[17] Libre Office Suite
[18] A free software web browser, preferably based on Mozilla Firefox.
I learned that Trisquel On A Sugar Toast too is based on Ubuntu 10.04.
Is it a good option? Any other suggestions apart from that?
