openSUSE Education is a Linux-based system designed to assist educational institutions in employing openSUSE for their interdepartmental needs.
OpenSUSE Education is a Linux distribution that is specifically designed to support schools using openSUSE. It aims to create and describe additional software packages for educational projects and create an "add-on" CD for the regular openSUSE distribution. This community-driven project welcomes everyone to join and help bring OpenSUSE into schools.
The system is not intended to duplicate the already existing software on OpenSUSE, but rather to enhance it specifically for educators and technologists. The software is updated with new features and enhancements to improve its overall functionality.
In this latest release, all KDE4 packages have been updated to version 4.0.3. The LTSP 5 packages (and a pattern) have been included for the first time, allowing users to install an OpenSUSE terminal server with ease. NetBeans 6.0.1, Gambas2, and Tipp10 have also been added.
Other new additions to the OpenSUSE Education software suite include Phun, a 2D physics sandbox, and k3dsurf, a program that visualizes and manipulates mathematical models in three, four, five, and six dimensions. iTALC has been updated to version 1.0.7 and adapted to better integrate with OpenSUSE. Additionally, wine-doors has been included to make it easier to install Windows Software on OpenSUSE.
Several other packages have received updates, including clisp, chemtool, dansguardian, fbreader, galculator, gcalctool, gcompris, geogebra, kding, kseg, pauker, MultiplicationStation, moodle, and semantik.
In conclusion, OpenSUSE Education is an excellent software for schools looking for a free and reliable Linux distribution that is specifically designed to meet their educational needs. Its extensive range of software packages caters to various aspects of education while making it easier for educators and students to collaborate on projects. Overall, this is a highly recommended system for educational institutions that want to incorporate technology into their teaching methods.
