Edubuntu is an operating system designed with education in mind.

  • An organisation or Education Ministry that is wanting to take full advantage of the benefits that open source software offers to the educational environment.

  • Educators and school personnel who would like to set up Edubuntu in a networked learning environment.

  • Home users who would like to have a standalone computer system that focuses on education for the younger members of the household.

Edubuntu gathers together the best available free software and digital materials for education.

"It can run on inexpensive, 10-year-old IBM-compatible computer as well as brand new I64-based systems"

Xubuntu

Xubuntu is a complete GNU/Linux. It is lighter on system requirements and tends to be more efficient than Ubuntu with GNOME or KDE, since it uses the Xfce Desktop environment, which makes it ideal for old or low-end machines.

Gobuntu

The fully open source operating system. This means there will be no firmware, drivers, applications, or content included in Gobuntu that does not include the full source or whose license does not provide the right to use, study, modify, and redistribute the body of work
