Edubuntu It has been developed in collaboration with teachers and technologists from multiple countries. Edubuntu was built on top of Ubuntu and incorporates an LTSP client architecture, as well as specific educational uses, targeting the population between the ages of 6 and 18.

Edubuntu is a movement that aims to get Ubuntu into schools, homes and communities and make it easier for users to install and maintain their systems, since they consider that learning and knowledge should be available to all who they want to improve the world around them.
The main function of this project is to provide the educator, with limited technical knowledge, skills to install a computer lab and then be able to manage it without the need for more specific knowledge. As well as achieving a centralized management in configuration, users and processes, together with a facility to be able to work collaboratively in class. It also aims to collect the best free software and for educational purposes.
