The Edubuntu expansion pack for Ubuntu is used in primary and secondary schools around the world. It is an excellent education tool that is customized for Education use.
Edubuntu contains a large number of educational applications including GCompris, KDE Edutainment Suite, and Schooltool Calendar. Edubuntu is developed to enable teachers/lecturers with limited technical knowledge and skills to set-up a computer lab, or establish an online learning environment, in an hour or less, and then administer that environment.
KDE Edutainment Suite
A collection of fun educational software that makes use of the KDE framework. Its primary focus is on schoolchildren aged 3 to 18, and the specialised user interface needs of young users. However, there are also programmes to aid teachers in planning lessons, and others that are of interest to university students, and anyone else with a desire to learn.
GCompris offers a huge collection of activities for the children in nursery/kindergarden, gently introducing them to basic computer use, then expanding to basic maths, reading activities, and more.
System Requirements: Edubuntu is available for PC architectures.
Full installation of all software packages requires at least 2.5 GB of disk space (if not all packages are installed, required disk space is significantly smaller), a CPU of at least 1 GHz, and 256 MB of RAM plus an additional 128 MB of RAM per thin client (e.g. a server driving two clients should have at least 512 MB RAM).
