The Debian Edu GNU/Linux distribution (also known as Skolelinux) was updated today to version 9 based on Debian GNU/Linux 9 “Stretch”.
Debian Edu 9 “Stretch” provides a stable and reliable environment for a fully configured school network. It has been designed and developed to function as a school server where users and machines can be added using the GOsa web environment.
This allows users to have an environment of their choice installed, and access more than 60 educational applications.
“Debian Edu school server provides an LDAP database and Kerberos authentication service, centralized home directories, a DHCP server, internet proxy and many other services.
The desktop includes more than 60 educational software packages and more can be found in the Debian archive. It has options for different desktop environments such as: KDE Plasma, GNOME, LXDE, MATE and Xfce,” the release notes state.
What's new in Debian Edu 9 Stretch
The Debian Edu 9 Stretch operating system has the same features as Debian GNU/Linux 9 Stretch, but it also has a few extras that are noteworthy: Plymouth as the default slash screen, Icinga as the new monitoring tool instead of Nagios, NDB support for the root file system for LTSP instead of NFS.
Note that the Plymouth boot screen is not available for the Minimal and Main Server profiles.
Debian Skolelinux has always provided a complete GNU/Linux solution for schools, and the Debian Edu 9 Stretch release lives up to its name, designed to be used on computers in universities, schools, and more.
