[News] Edubuntu GNU/Linux Works for Children, Fedora 9 Overview

What can teach your kids

,----[ Quote ]
| Since most of my kids' schoolwork is hands-on and interactive, they don't 
| spend a huge amount of time with our computers each day. Technology is a big 
| part of our lives, however, and by the time they get to be my age I imagine 
| it will be a big part of everyone's. Edubuntu strikes the right balance 
| between helping them learn the basics of core subjects they need to know and 
| teaching them ways open source software can help us achieve great things.

Fedora is Dressed to the 9

,----[ Quote ]
| Also notable is the inclusion of compatibility packages “to ensure that 
| applications not yet ported to KDE 4 will continue to work,” according to the 
| release notes.  
| 
| Improvements to NetworkManager include compatibility with PolicyKit for 
| network configuration and support for ad-hoc wireless networks and PPP over 
| mobile broadband cards (GSM and CDMA).  
| 
| With its tweaked address bar and new Places bookmark replacement, the Firefox 
| 3 beta 5 browser finally has Fedora-like look and integrates with the 
| desktop. Fedora now ships with a browser plug-in for playing Flash 
| animations, videos and games.

First look at Edubuntu 7.10

,----[ Quote ]
| Edubuntu 7.10 is a linux distribution based on Ubuntu aimed at schools and 
| teachers. As a new teacher I thought that I would take a look at what 
| Edubuntu has to offer, and whether I think that I would use it in a school 
| environment. I ordered a free cd from ShipIt, and as always this took a 
| couple of weeks to arrive.

Edubuntu: Linux for education

,----[ Quote ]
| In Venezuela, for instance, "there are several movements that were
| originated by a new law, Presidential Decree No. 3390, where all
| public institutions must use open source software," says Efrain
| Valles, a Venezuelan educator, Ubuntu user, and open source
| advocate. However, Valles says that uptake in the education
| sector is slow. "Our schools are just beginning to use
| computers. There is no one computer per classroom thing;
| remember, we are a Third World country. Technology is an
| import and very expensive, so the reach to schools is
| happening mainly because of stuff like Edubuntu."

Controlling and managing Edubuntu users' desktops

,----[ Quote ]
| The community-driven Edubuntu project aims to create a version of Ubuntu 
| specially tailored for use in primary and secondary education. Perhaps the 
| most useful feature present in the Edubuntu OS is the Linux Terminal Server 
| Project environment, whose applications are not limited just to eduction.
