  • Edubuntu – Linux for education

      Following on from my post about K12LTSP and saving old PCs from the skip, Edubuntu has just been launched. I have been using Ubuntu, the Linux operating system from which is it derived, on my home desktop and have been pleased with the results. Both are absolutely free-of-charge to download, install and share. I’m going to install Edubuntu on one of the PCs in my classroom as it supports K12LTSP so should ‘talk’ to the server just fine! :-D

    [...] I’d like to point out that with Linux, the free and open-source operating system, occurrences of spyware and viruses are virtually unheard of. If you want to try it out, you might want to look at downloading a LiveCD, where the whole operating system boots from CD/DVD without touching the files on your hard disk. You can then install it if you enjoy using it. Distrowatch.org has a roundup of Linux ‘Distributions’ – I recommend Kanotix or Kubuntu for ‘newbies’. (I use OpenSUSE) Kubuntu is a derivative of Ubuntu with the KDE graphical user environment, also used by Kanotix, which resembles Microsoft Windows. Edubuntu, another derivative of Ubuntu (which uses the slightly different but easy-to-use GNOME graphical user environment) mentioned in another post is focused on educational use. I use the latter on the computers in my classroom and pupils find Linux both intuitive and easy-to-use. [...]
