[SOLVED] Edubuntu ?

Hi

I don't understand the purpose behind making Edubuntu. Its the exact true copy of Ubuntu (except the default wallpaper) then why is it being distributed with a different name ?

I was under the impression Edubuntu uses XFCE instead of Gnome. It also has educational packages installed by default.

Edubuntu uses the Gnome Desktop enivironment. It just has a different name, and a few educational packages installed, such as a periodic table etc... Really nothing anyone could use in my opinion.

All the educational applciations are available, but they come on another CD and are not installed by default.

Edubuntu is also set up to be used as a thin client OS. So educators that don't necessarily have a lot of resources(and have a limited budget) can set up a whole computer lab cheap and fast.
