FREEDUC
Directory of free software for schools

Until now - and probably for a while in most heads - the GNU/Linux
system at school has been perceived as a good replacement of other
proprietary servers. However the server is probably the least
important things in term of freedom in a school network. It doesn't
allow a teacher to share a workstation software with students.
Supporting GNU/Linux in the workstation side can grant higher
freedom and liberty between users in a school.. Therefore, OFSET has
setup Freeduc, a tool to help to list, to evaluate and to package
only free - non GPL exclusive - edu soft.

The Freeduc CD
What is it?

We have build a live Freeduc system on CD-ROM which doesn't need any
installation to be used. From the user point of view the system use
XFCE and the applications are available from various drawers.

The idea of the live Freeduc system on CD-ROM is to let the end user
- mainly teacher - to easily access the free education application.
