Do you have to administrate a computer lab or a whole school network? Would you like to install servers, workstations and laptops which will then work together? Do you want the stability of Debian with network services already preconfigured? Do you wish to have a web-based tool to manage systems and several hundred or even more user accounts? Have you asked yourself if and how older computers could be used?
Then Debian Edu is for you. The teachers themselves or their technical support can roll out a complete multi-user multi-machine study environment within a few days. Debian Edu comes with hundreds of applications pre-installed, but you can always add more packages from Debian.
The Debian Edu developer team is happy to announce Debian Edu 10 Buster, the Debian Edu / Skolelinux release based on the Debian 10 Buster release. Please consider testing it and reporting back to help us to improve it further.

Open source technology, enabling innovation
One of the most exciting projects to come out of the open source revolution is Kubernetes, a tool helping companies running their software on cloud services. It enables them to get the most out of the processing power they’re paying for by identifying machines that are being underutilised. So, if the software detects that a machine is not being optimised, it will load it up with another task so it’s working as hard as it can.
| Forbes Raves Upcoming Linux Desktop will enclose Windows 10 and macOS
Forbes senior employee Jason Evangelho dedicated an entire article to an upcoming update for a Sino-domestic Linux distribution:
If you haven't paid attention to a bit of Linux desktop distribution called Deepin, it's time to put it on your radar. Remember that Huawei Deepin chose to ship on their MateBook laptop lineup. Remember that Deepin Cloud Sync (for system settings) is a great, progressive feature that every Linux distro must use. Remember that the retractable control center from the future looks like something sexy and sensible. But looking at 2020, Deepin is absolutely breathtaking.
This is without a doubt the nicest desktop environment I have ever seen … For me, the UX is more intuitive and pleasant than macOS and Windows 10. And luckily a quick setting can also transform Deepin into the traditional Windows or macOS desktop paradigm's that you are already familiar with. Hell, even the installer is a relief.

[libre-riscv-dev] power pc
So as you know, the RISCV Foundation is seriously impeding progress. There is huge momentum around RISCV itself, however as far as open *innovation* is concerned, the sheer arrogance of the Foundation in failing to respect the combination of Libre goals and business objectives has us completely isolated from key critical resources such as the closed secret lists and wiki. We cannot even get access to documentation explaining how to propose new extensions. I have been considering for some time to reach out to MIPS and PowerPC. Yesterday I wrote to the OpenPower Foundation and was really surprised and delighted to hear back from Hugh Blemings, whom I worked with over 20 years ago. I outlined some conditions (no NDAs, open mailing lists, use of Certification Marks and Compliance Suites) and he replied back that this was pretty much along the lines of what they were planning. I will have a chat with him some time, in the meantime I found the spec: https://openpowerfoundation.org/?resource_lib=power-isa-version-3-0 It is eeenooormous, however Hugh reassures me that they want to break it into sections. Why would we even consider this? The lesson from RISCV is really clear: if the ISA is set up as a cartel, Libre innovation is not welcome. If we had a goal to just *implement* a *pre existing* Extension, there would be no problem. It is the fact that we wish to implement entirely new extensions, for CPU and GPU *and* VPU purposes, but not as a separate processor (which would be classified as "custom") that is the "problem". So starting at page 1146, we need to work out how to shoe horn a ton of stuff into the ISA, as well as fit 16 bit compressed in as well. L.

| Calamares grabs onto things
I’ve been working on Calamares, the Universal Linux Installer, for a little over two years – following up in the role Teo started. It’s used by Neon (for the dev version, not the user version) and Manjaro and lots of other Linux distributions. I’ve typically called it an installer for boutique distro’s, as opposed to the Big Five.
Well, Debian 11 has plans. And lubuntu uses it as well (and has for over six months).
Those seem pretty big.
