Skolelinux 7.0 Alpha 0 發布
Skolelinux是Debian-edu項目開發中的Custom Debian Distribution(CDD)。它的目標是為中學和大學提供一份超平常的本地化環境。伴隨所謂的超平常環境而來的是75個面向學校的應用程序,以及為學校環境而預先定制好的15個網絡服務。它提供一套簡單的、三個詢問式的安裝過程,并且這只需要最低限度的技術知識。Skolelinux仍然是Debian,這意味著,如同Debian一樣,Skolelinux不需要花費許可證費用或類似的擔心,并且軟件的升級和維護可以依靠Debian的apt-get的力量,通過Internet來完成。Skolelinux的核心目標是本地化,以及系統管理的易用性。
