Edubuntu aims to create a distribution that provides an up-to-date and coherent Linux system for educational desktop and server computing. Edubuntu includes a number of carefully selected packages from the Debian distribution, which Ubuntu is based on, and retains its powerful package management system which allows easy installation and clean removal of programs. Unlike most distributions that ship with a large amount of software that may or may not be of use, Edubuntu's list of packages is reduced to a number of important applications of high quality and educational importance.

By focusing on quality, Edubuntu produces a robust and feature-rich computing environment that is suitable for use in both home and educational environments. The project takes the time required to focus on finer details and is able to release a version featuring the latest and greatest of today's software once every 6 months. Edubuntu is available in downloads for the i386 (386/486/PentiumII/III/IV and Athlon/Duron/Sempron processors) and AMD64 (Athlon64, Opteron, and new 64-bit Intel processors).

Another leading UNIX and Linux desktop is <ulink url="http://www.kde.org">KDE</ulink>. The <ulink url="http://www.kubuntu.org">Kubuntu</ulink> project offers Edubuntu users an alternative choice to the default GNOME desktop environment. Thanks to the efforts of the Kubuntu team, Edubuntu users are now able to install and use the KDE desktop easily on their system. To get a working install of Kubuntu on an Edubuntu install, install the <application>edubuntu-desktop-kde</application> package. Once <application>edubuntu-desktop-kde</application> is installed, one can choose to use either a Gnome or KDE desktop environment.

The Edubuntu version numbering scheme is based on the date we release a version of the distribution. The version number comes from the year and month of the release rather than reflecting the actual version of the software. Our first release (Breezy Badger) was in October 2005 so its version was 5.10. This version (Hardy Heron) was released in April 2008 so its version number is 8.04.
