Skolelinux is not only a Custom Debian Distribution; it also - offers educational software on its workstations; - preconfigures your network and eases rollouts. - gathers international users and developers who are concerned about education. > Do you work in a school enviroment and if, in which ways do you use > Linux? I'm looking for the pedagogic angle of this solution. This angle is most important. Indeed, I teach in a comprehensive school with pupils aged 10 to 20.
