“Edubuntu is the Ubuntu distribution’s educational variant. It
provides a software platform that allows educators to spend more
time teaching with computers and less time managing them. In
addition to Linux and the typical productivity software, Edubuntu
provides the organisational package SchoolTool and educational
programs for children between preschool and high school, with three
age groups within this demographic, each with their own relevant
