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-fledged school network. It is designed and developed to function as a school server where users and machines can be added using the GOsa web interface.

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

"The Debian Edu school server provides an LDAP database and the Kerberos authentication service, central home directories, a DHCP server, an Internet proxy server and many other services.
Η surface work 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 it also has some extras that are remarkable: Plymouth as the default slash screen, Icinga as a new monitoring tool instead of Nagios, NDB support for root file system for LTSP instead of NFS.

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

The software Debian Skolelinux has always provided a complete GNU/Linux solution for schools, and the Debian Edu 9 Stretch edition lives up to its name as it is designed to be used on computers in universities, schools and more.
