Debian Edu 9 Stretch or Skolelinux

The distribution of Debian Edu GNU / Linux (also known as Skolelinux) was updated today in the 9 version based on Debian GNU / Linux 9 "Stretch".

Debian Edu 9 “Stretch” provides a stable and reliable environment for a fully configured school network. It is designed and developed to act as a school server where students can be added users and machines using GOsa's online environment.

This allows users to have an environment of their choice installed, and have access to more than 60 educational applications.

“The Debian Edu school server provides an LDAP database and control service identity Kerberos, central home directories, a DHCP server, Internet proxy and many other services.
The desktop includes more than 60 training 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 also has a few extras that are notable: Plymouth as a default slash screen, Icinga as a new monitoring tool instead of Nagios, NDB support for the root file system for LTSP instead of NFS.

Note that the screen Plymouth boot is not available for Minimal and Main Server profiles.

Debian Skolelinux has always provided a complete GNU / Linux solution for schools and the Debian Edu 9 Stretch version responds to its name since it is designed to be used on universities, schools, and so on.
