Edubuntu is a partner project of Ubuntu, a distribution suitable for classroom use. The aim is that an educator with limited technical knowledge and skill will be able to set up a computer lab, or establish an on-line learning environment, in an hour or less, and then administer that environment without having to become a fully-fledged Linux geek.

Think of Edubuntu this way: It's an open-source operating system that includes the software you need to learn. Whether you're looking to focus on math, science, art, social sciences, or technology, Edubuntu has something up its sleeve for you.

The software that comes pre-installed on Edubuntu includes the following:

• Firefox web browser
• LibreOffice office suite
• Geary email app
• GIMP
• Inkscape
• LibreCAD
• Tux Paint
• Calibre ebook creator/viewer
• KWordQuiz
• Scribe (desktop publishing)
• ULCC (teaches children via pictures)
• Marble (atlas)
• Cantor (KDE frontend for mathematical equations)
• KAlgebra
• Atomix (game to learn about molecules)
• Stellarium (view and learn about the stars)
• Chemtool (draw chemical structures)
• Gramps (create family trees)
• KGeography (learn about geography)
• Tux Typing
• GeoGebra
• Moodle
• Gibbon: Created by teachers, Gibbon is the school platform which
  solves real problems encountered by educators every day

and much more...

That's just the short list of included applications. One of the more important pieces of software you'll find on Edubuntu is GCompris, which is an application suite that includes several educational apps geared toward both learning and entertainment purposes for ages two through 10. GCompris includes text-to-speech, full-word image sets, background music, games, and other tools with a playful UI that any child would enjoy.

Edubuntu is free and ships with much of the software a student could need, This open-source distribution is perfect for schools to deploy. And because the OS and the installed software titles are free, it's a win-win. On top of that, because it's based on Ubuntu, there's a world of other software that can be installed.

Any educational institution would be remiss for not taking a close look at Edubuntu for its next operating system.
