Ubuntu is a predominantly desktop-oriented Linux distribution, based on Debian GNU/Linux but with a stronger focus on usability, regular releases, and ease of installation at the expense of platform diversity.
Ubuntu is sponsored by Canonical Ltd, owned by South African billionaire entrepreneur Mark Shuttleworth. Edubuntu is a member of the Ubuntu family of Linux distributions which is designed for use in classrooms. Edubuntu has been developed in collaboration with teachers and technologists in multiple nations. Edubuntu is built on top of the Ubuntu base, and incorporates the LTSP thin client architecture, as well as education-specific applications, aimed at the 6-18 years age group. Included with Edubuntu is the Linux Terminal Server Project, a large number of educational applications including GCompris, KDE Edutainment Suite, and Schooltool Calendar.
The first Edubuntu release coincided with the release of Ubuntu 5.10, which was codenamed Breezy Badger on 2005-10-13. Edubuntu CDs can be ordered for free through the Shipit service. Edubuntu's default GUI is GNOME, but in the next release of the distribution (7.10) KDE will also be available as Edubuntu KDE. The primary goal of Edubuntu is to enable an educator with limited technical knowledge and skills to set up a computer lab or an on-line learning environment in an hour or less and then effectively administer that environment. The principal design goals of Edubuntu are centralized management of configuration, users and processes, together with facilities for working collaboratively in a classroom setting. Equally important is the gathering together of the best available free software and digital materials for education. It also aims to allow resource-poor environments to maximize their available (older) equipment.p>
