  It is an advanced network solution that provides a terminal server environment suitable to most educational scenarios and it comes with most of its services pre-configured out-of-the-box. It allows both a technical and non-technical installation process depending on the user needs and expertise and highly simplifies middle to large system deployments and configurations.

  == DebianEdu or Skolelinux? ==
  
  At some point during the spring and summer of 2001 both DebianEdu and Skolelinux projects started as an attempt to create a GNU/Linux distribution for educational purposes. Raphael Herzog started DebianEdu project as a member of a group called IIRC with objective to create education-related meta-packages and Skolelinux started from a Norwegian group as a project intended to create a CD distribution.
- After some minimal collaborations, the french group left package maintenance to the norwegian group which started to include them on their CD. By that time people all over the world were contributing but was at that point that both projects effectively became one. Some say that DebianEdu is the name of the project, and skolelinux is the name of the distribution but in practice '''nowadays both names actually refer to the same project.'''

   * '''It is Free software:''' not only in price but also the way schools are allowed to use it. This is ethically important to an educational environment as it should avoid being an arena where piracy is accepted or encouraged but a place that promotes the making and sharing of knowledge. This project provides user-friendly licences that gives ''rights'' not ''responsibilities''.
   * '''Provides control:''' users can decide themselves when to upgrade both hardware and software and so, they are able to remain independent from suppliers' influence.
-  * '''Economical savings:''' Teleplan, an independent agency created a[[attachment:teleplan_03112003.pdf;|report (only norwegian)]] concluding that it can help saving up to 60% thanks to its ''eased maintenance'' when compared to a traditional workstation infrastructure. Note that saving money does not mean zero cost.

   * '''Rock solid:''' it is a stable and reliable system that just works. Additionally, it is less vulnerable to worms and viruses.
   * '''Solves real needs:''' it is made by schools and for schools and so, it becomes inherently designed to fit real scenarios.
   * '''Highly supported:''' as it is part of Debian, it benefits from a large and vibrant community that means lots of momentum, development and guarantees that it will stand strong and around us for a very long time.
