Edubuntu to 101%

We suppose of wanting a distro to use to didactic scope, we suppose also to have characterized it in Edubuntu 8,04, distribution based on ubuntu 8,04, have two possibility:

  1. To transform ubuntu in edubuntu by means of appropriate cd the additional one.
  2. To install edubuntu in a single blow using the cd of Ubuntu East Iacta.

Ubuntu East Iacta is an association, not for the sake of lucro, than it is proposed to promote and I generally use to diffuse it of the “free software” in the scholastic and public institutions and with which I collaborate through the publication on the www.uielinux.org site of articles, guides and comments that then find a more complete trattazione on the pages of tuxmind. Well UIE has realized this cd that the installation of didactic software to the so-called becomes simpler remarkablly “niubbi”, and knows well as they are in the school the overwhelming majority. Among other things, united to Edubuntu, the UIE team has realized also a personalized version of Ubuntu 8,04 with all series of software that generally we use, but that Canonical does not insert in the release official.

Here an other beautiful educational product from kde 4. For who it has compiled from svn as me the istallazione is always that of kdesvn-build kdeedu (installs all the package of the educational games), less than the solo kanagram with cmake is not wanted to be compiled; those people which, instead, want to install from synaptic will find the package kanagram for kde 3,5 and kanagram-kde4 exactly for kde4.

This is the first one of an article series dedicated to kdeedu, with of software that kde 4 dedication to the formation, argument, than, like all sapete, me is particularly to heart and towards which feels a natural inclination goodness knows (professional deformation or…).
Well, we begin this distance with marble, a geographic software that, with the exception of google earth, not ago use of graphical acceleration (nothing OpenGL), therefore has a dataset reduced lessened and can be used also offline. Marble extension the world like a sphere 3D and, in this turns out similar to NASA WorldWind, Earth3D and Google Earth.
