Comment:
add section w/ main server installation instructions for typical environments

  == Installing Debian Edu ==
  
  When you do a Debian Edu installation, you have a few options to choose from. Don't be afraid; there aren't many. We have done a good job of hiding the complexity of Debian during the installation and beyond. However, Debian Edu is Debian, and if you want there are more than 52,000 packages to choose from and a billion configuration options. For the majority of our users, our defaults should be fine. One exception: if LTSP is intended to be used, choose a lightweight desktop environment. (LXDE comes with the smallest footprint; see details below how to set it).
+ 
+ === Main server installation scenarios ===
+ 
+  * Typical home network with Internet access through a router providing DHCP:
+   * Installation of a main server is possible, but after reboot there will be   no internet access (due to primary network interface IP 10.0.2.2/8).
+   * See the [[https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Buster/Requirements#Internet_router|Internet router]] chapter for details how to set up a gateway if it is not possible to configure an existing one as needed.
+   * Connect all components like shown in the [[DebianEdu/Documentation/Buster/Architecture#Network|architecture]] chapter.
+   * The main server should have Internet connection once bootet the first time in the correct environment. 
+ 
+  * Network with router/gateway IP 10.0.0.1/8 available:
+   * As soon as the automatic network configuration fails (due to missing DHCP), choose manual network configuration
+     * Enter 10.0.2.2/8 as host IP
+     * Enter 10.0.0.1 as gateway IP
+     * Enter 8.8.8.8 as nameserver IP unless you know better
+   * The main server should just work after the first boot
