| | Debian-Edu/Skolelinux 2.0 heads for schools |
 | | Skolelinux, which uses the 2.6 kernel and KDE desktop as defaults, is installed in hundreds of schools in Norway, Germany, and other countries, the project said. |
 | | The new version of Skolelinux offers recent versions of popular programs such as OpenOffice 2.0.2, Mozilla Firefox 1.5, and GCompris ("an educational software suite [comprised] of numerous activities for children aged 2 to 10") -- all in many languages. |
 | | Since all software is distributed from the Skolelinux servers, maintenance costs on half-thick clients are still kept low, the team said. |
