+ Subject: Third beta release (beta 2) of Debian Edu/Skolelinux based on Debian Wheezy
+ 
+ == New features for Debian Edu 7.1+edu0~b2 released 2013-09-XX ==
+ 
+ These are the release notes for Debian Edu / Skolelinux 7.1+edu0~b2, based on Debian with codename "Wheezy".
+ 
+ === About Debian Edu and Skolelinux ===
+ 
+ [[http://www.skolelinux.org/|Debian Edu, also known as Skolelinux]], is a Linux distribution based on Debian providing an out-of-the box environment of a completely configured school network. Immediately after installation a school server running all services needed for a school network is set up just waiting for users and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable Web-UI. A netbooting environment is prepared using PXE, so after initial installation of the main server from CD or USB stick all other machines can be installed via the network.  The provided school server provides LDAP database and Kerberos authentication service, centralized home directories, DHCP server, web proxy and many other services.  The desktop contains [[http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Educational_applications_included_in_Debian_Edu___Skolelinux__the_screenshot_collection____.html|more than 60 educational software packages]] and more are available from the Debian archive, and schools can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE and Xfce desktop environment.
+ 
+ This is the seventh test release based on Debian Wheezy.  Basically this is an updated and slightly improved version compared to the Squeeze release.
+ 
+ /!\ Alpha based installations should reinstall or downgrade the versions of gosa and libpam-mklocaluser to the ones used in this beta release. Both alpha and beta0 based installations should reinstall or deal with gosa.conf manually; there are two options: (1) Keep gosa.conf and edit this file as outlined  [[http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/2013/08/msg00127.html|on the mailing list]]. (2) Accept the new version of gosa.conf and replace both contained admin password placeholders with the password hashes found in the old one (backup copy!). In both cases every user need to change their their password to make sure a password is set for CIFS access to their home directory.
