Introduction

Freeduc is a "run-from-CD" Linux distribution based on Knoppix and created by OFSET in France: "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 thing in terms 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."

Freeduc是一份从光盘运行的Linux发行,它基于Knoppix,并且由法国OFSET(一个为教育机构开发免费软件的组织)提供。到目前为止,并且在大多数人看来很可能还要持续一段时期,GNU/Linux系统在学校已经被发现是其他商用服务器产品的很好替代者。然而在学校的网络中,从自由的角度而言,选择什么作为服务器很可能是最次要的,因为这并不能让老师把软件与学生们共享。在工作站这一端采用GNU/Linux才能保证学校用户更多的自由。正因为如此,OFSET创建了Freeduc,它能对自由软件进行查看、评估和打包,并且那些非GPL的内容被排除在教育软件之外。
