Skolelinux - Definition and Overview

Skolelinux is a Linux distribution based on Debian.

Skolelinux is a Norwegian open source project aiming to:

• Create a Linux distribution tailored for schools -- based on their needs and *resources*.
• Simplify maintenance of computer facilities.
• Provide a thin client-solution, which eases maintenance, reduses costs and allows use of old hardware.
• Cut costs by using open source software and re-using old hardware.
• Localize the IT infrastructure by translating the software pages to all officially-supported languages in Norway, that is Nynorsk and Bokmål as well as Sami.
• Identify and facilitate suitable programs for use in the schools.
• Enable teachers to provide high quality IT-teaching to their students.
