AbulÉdu facts for kids

AbulÉdu is a special computer operating system, much like Windows or macOS, but it's built using Linux. It was created in France specifically for use in schools and classrooms. It's based on another popular Linux system called Debian and comes with many useful programs for learning.

What is AbulÉdu?

AbulÉdu is a Linux distribution. Think of a Linux distribution as a complete package of the Linux operating system, plus many other programs and tools that work together. AbulÉdu was designed to help students and teachers in schools. It makes it easier to set up computer labs and provides lots of educational software.

How AbulÉdu Helps Schools

AbulÉdu includes something called the Linux Terminal Server Project. This allows many computers in a classroom to share one powerful main computer. This means schools don't need to buy expensive computers for every student. Instead, they can use simpler, less powerful machines that connect to the main server. This saves money and makes it easier to manage all the computers.

Educational Software

One of the best things about AbulÉdu is that it comes with a large collection of educational applications. These are programs designed to help students learn different subjects, from math and science to languages and art. This means that once AbulÉdu is installed, students have immediate access to many tools that support their learning.

AbulÉdu and Debian

AbulÉdu is based on Debian. Debian is a very stable and widely used Linux distribution. By building on Debian, AbulÉdu benefits from its reliability and the huge number of programs available for it. This also means that AbulÉdu can get updates and security fixes from the Debian community, keeping it safe and running smoothly.
