“Directly installing Edubuntu as a new OS

“Starting with Ubuntu 9.10, there is a dedicated Edubuntu
installation disc. In previous versions, you had to first install
the regular Ubuntu distribution and then download and install the
Add-On CD containing the Edubuntu desktop and applications. However
now with Ubuntu 9.10, you can just download the Edubuntu disc
image, burn it to a DVD, and install it. The Edubuntu desktop and
all the educational applications and games are preinstalled.

“Using this new Edubuntu install disc is great if you haven’t
already installed the regular version of Ubuntu . However, if you
only want a select few of the applications, you might just want to
go the other route. You can still first install the regular Ubuntu
distribution and then manually install the applications you want,
which we’ll discuss further in the next section.”
