No. I believe what Finn-Arne mentions is well-known ones only, not a complete list - judging from his own words recently on the issue of what is actually based on Debian Sarge in the current snapshots aiming at becoming next official Skolelinux release: http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/2005/05/msg00205.html I suspect the count to be higher than the above two plus the one specifically discussed in the referenced debian-edu thread. Sure, most of the unofficial packages for Skolelinux is improvements expected to get included in a later Debian release, but just as Ubuntu isn't "official Debian" so is also not Skolelinux currently. So I dare repeat myself: Adding a few more packages unofficially (that breaks policy) shouldn't be a big deal for Skolelinux. - Jonas - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er nær: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCnG10n7DbMsAkQLgRAnVbAJ4qwjknKkcxD2unr0fwpe6NVP1YDACggvRU 1CgwgV7v7neevFHcCAGe/fg= =779F -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
