Introduction
openSUSE Education team is proud to present openSUSE-Edu Li-f-e (Linux for Education) based on openSUSE Leap 42.1 </Portal:42.1>.
The image is a "hybrid" iso image, the same image can be used to burn a Live DVD or to create a Live USB stick </Live_USB_stick>.

This release includes carefully selected software for students, educators as well as parents. The software selection encompasses everything
required to make computers productive for either home or educational use without having to install anything additional.

The Live DVD contains KIWI-LTSP server that can be enabled even by non-technical user <http://cyberorg.github.io/kiwi-ltsp-howto>], it comes
bundled with tons of useful applications from [[Education_repositories|openSUSE Education], Build Service </Portal:Build_Service> and
Packman </Additional_package_repositories> repositories. With the KIWI-LTSP </Portal:KIWI-LTSP> server you can PXE(network) boot other
PCs to use this live DVD without installing or modifying anything on them. Booting from hard disk again will leave those PCs as they
were.(Please note that running LTSP from Live DVD/USB is meant for demo/testing purpose only, install on the hard disk to use it in
production).

The aim of this DVD is to provide complete education and development resources for parents, students, teachers as well as IT admins running
labs at educational institutes, if you think there is something missing that you absolutely must have on the DVD, drop us a line see
"Communicate" here <http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Education>.

Note: As openSUSE project does not support live media installation, there will not be Li-f-e based on current release. Check out Li-f-e based on
Ubuntu LTS and links to alternative Educational distributions here <https://sourceforge.net/projects/cyberorg-home/files/Li-f-e/>. Great collection
of Education softwares are available in our build service repository <http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Education/> which can be added
to standard openSUSE install.

FAQ
Why are so many packages and Desktop Environment installed?

The idea of this distribution is to introduce and make available as many tools as possible for teachers to make their task easier and for student
to learn from. Choice of so many desktop environment is available so that users can explore each one and use the one they are most
comfortable with.

For such a big image why are my locale not included?

There are over 100 locales available in various stages of completion, so even if each takes just a few MB we would not be able to incorporate a
lot of them, besides adding your language after installation via yast is easy and is required to be done just once in the life time of the distribution
of almost 2 years.
