“Learn free with Ubuntu” is Ubuntu based live DVD with free software, an extension of the original “Learn Free” Project.

The project has two goals:

1. To be useful for all teachers and students and one day to be used in the schools;

2. To be the starting point for everyone who would like to test Linux.

"sidux e.V. is pleased to present to you with the first version of sidux-seminarix. This is an educational project that merges Seminarix with the base of sidux. Seminarix is aimed at schooling teachers as well as pupils with free and open software to make computer training in schools less costly and more effective. The project was initiated in March 2007 by Wolf-Dieter Zimmermann, who works in the education of students for a teaching credential. First based upon Kubuntu, sidux e.V. started to port it to sidux with the help of teachers and interested users. With sidux as a powerful free and open Linux distribution the Seminarix project now has a fast, easy to maintain and always current base. sidux-seminarix is enriched with a comprehensive amount of learning software from the realms of education, culture and science."
