Thank you for your interest in Edubuntu 9.10 - the Karmic Koala - released in October 2009.

Edubuntu is an operating system designed with education in mind. It is based on Ubuntu, a complete operating system that uses the Linux kernel and is freely available to the public. As an education-driven operating system, Edubuntu provides a complete solution for:

- Kennarar og starfsmenn skóla sem vilja gjarnan setja upp Edubuntu í nettengdu kennsluumhverfi.

- Heimili sem vilja hafa tölvu með áherslu á menntun yngri kynslóðanna.

Since Edubuntu is based on Ubuntu, the team behind Edubuntu are part of the growing Ubuntu community. The Ubuntu community is built around the ideals enshrined in the Ubuntu Philosophy: that software should be available free of charge, that software tools should be usable by people in their local language and despite any disabilities, and that people should have the freedom to customize and alter their software in whatever way they see fit. For those reasons, the team behind Edubuntu makes the following public commitment to its community of users worldwide:

- Edubuntu verður alltaf ókeypis, og það er ekkert aukagjald fyrir fyrirtækjaútgáfuna. Við gerum allar afurðir vinnu okkar aðgengilegar öllum á sömu frjálsu forsendum.

- Edubuntu inniheldur bestu þýðingar og aðgengismöguleika sem frjáls hugbúnaður hefur upp á að bjóða, í því skyni að gera Ubuntu nothæft fyrir eins marga og mögulegt er.

- Edubuntu is released regularly and predictably; a new release is made every six months. You can use the current stable release or the current development release. Each release is supported for at least 18 months.

- Edubuntu is entirely committed to the principles of open source software development; we encourage people to use open source software, improve it and pass it on.

## Um nafnið

Edubuntu combines education and Ubuntu to form the name (pronounced "ed-oo-BOON-too"). Ubuntu is a South African ethical ideology focusing on people's allegiances and relations with each other. The word comes from the Zulu and Xhosa languages. Ubuntu (pronounced "oo-BOON-too") is seen as a traditional African concept, is regarded as one of the founding principles of the new republic of South Africa and is connected to the idea of an African Renaissance.

Gróf þýðing á hugmyndafræði Ubuntu er „mannúð gagnvart öðrum‟. Önnur þýðing gæti verið „trúin á algildan sáttmála samneyslu sem tengir alla menn‟.

> Erkibiskup Desmond Tutu

> „Einstaklingur með ubuntu er opinn, viðmótsþýður og jákvæður gagnvart öðrum. Honum finnst sér ekki ógnað þó aðrir séu dugandi og góðir þar sem hann hefur raunverulegt sjálfstraust sprottið af vissunni fyrir því að hann sé hluti af stærra samhengi. Honum þykir hann lítillækkaður þegar aðrir eru auðmýktir eða lítillækkaðir, þegar aðrir eru píndir eða kúgaðir.‟

As a platform based on Ubuntu Linux, the Edubuntu operating system brings the spirit of ubuntu to the educational world.

## Frjáls hugbúnaður

The Edubuntu project is entirely committed to the principles of free software development; people are encouraged to use free software, improve it, and pass it on.

"Free software" doesn't mean that you shouldn't have to pay for it (although Edubuntu is committed to being free of charge as well); it means that you should be able to use the software in any way you wish: the code that makes up free software is available for anyone to download, change, fix, and use in any way. Alongside ideological benefits, this freedom also has technical advantages: when programs are developed, the hard work of others can be used and built upon. With non-free software, this cannot happen and when programs are developed, they have to start from scratch. For this reason the development of free software is fast, efficient and exciting!

## Munurinn

There are many different operating systems based on Linux: Debian, SuSE, Gentoo, RedHat, and Mandriva are examples. Edubuntu is yet another contender in what is already a highly competitive world. So what makes Edubuntu different?

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).

## Skjáborðið

The desktop is what you see after you log in to your computer and what you use to manage and run applications. The default desktop environment for Edubuntu is GNOME, a leading UNIX and Linux desktop suite and development platform.

Another leading UNIX and Linux desktop is KDE. The Kubuntu 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 edubuntu-desktop-kde package. Once edubuntu-desktop-kde is installed, one can choose to use either a Gnome or KDE desktop environment.

## Útgáfa og númerakerfi

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 (Karmic Koala) was released in October 2009 so its version number is 9.10.

## Hjálp og stuðningur

Edubuntu is maintained by a quickly growing community. The project is sponsored by Canonical Ltd., a holding company founded by Mark Shuttleworth. Canonical employs the core Edubuntu developers and offers support and consulting services for Edubuntu.

## Hvað er Linux?

Linux kjarninn er hjarta Ubuntu stýrikerfisins. Kjarninn er mikilvægur hluti sérhvers stýrikerfis sem brúar bilið milli tækjabúnaðar og hugbúnaðar.

Linux var skapað árið 1991 af finnska nemandanum Linus Torvalds. Það var í stórum dráttum gerð af UNIX kjarnanum sem keyrði einungis á i386 höguninni sem var þá ný af nálinni.

Í dag keyrir Linux á nær öllum nútíma tölvuhögunum, þökk sé þrotlausri þróunarvinnu fólks vítt og breitt um heiminn.

Linux kjarninn hefur orðið hugmyndafræðilega mikilvægur ekki síður en tæknilega. Heilt samfélag fólks trúir á hugsjónina um frjálsan hugbúnað og ver tíma sínum í að gera hann eins góðan og raun ber vitni.

Fólk í þessu samfélagi voru valdurinn að framtaki eins og Ubuntu, staðlanefndir móta þróun internetsins, samtök eins og Mozilla stofnunin er ábyrg fyrir þróun Mozilla Firefox vafrans og óteljandi önnur hugbúnaðarverkefni sem þú hefur örugglega hagnast á í fortíðinni.

Andi frjáls hugbúnaðar, sem oft er rakinn til Linux, hefur hvatt hugbúnaðarþróendur og notendur hvarvetna til að bindast böndum um sameiginleg markmið.

## Hvað er GNU eiginlega?

The GNU Project, pronounced “guh-noo”, was launched in 1984 to develop a complete UNIX style operating system which is comprised of free software: the GNU system. Variants of the GNU operating system, which use the Linux kernel, are now widely used.

The GNU project is closely linked to the philosophy of free software, which is central to the projects that derive from it, such as Ubuntu. The concept of free software is explained at .
