4 Educational Linux Distributions
As you may know, the Linux and open source community provides a wealth of free operating systems. Today, we'll review 4 different desktop distributions specifically designed for educational and academic use.

Edubuntu is basically the same operating system as the ever-popular Ubuntu loaded with a variety of extra educational applications and games. You can install Edubuntu as a new OS or install the education packages to an existing Ubuntu system. Either way, you'll find many new programs show up under the main Applications menu.
