Geemoninny, Vagrant.  This was such a great answer.  Thanks.  I understand.

So - another objection to Skole that I have encountered is that it is
stagnant and uses 4 year old KDE packages.  I know about the traditional
Debian stable objections.  I thought that as Debian accelerated the last few
years, Skole changed with it.

With Skolelinux being a CDD known as debian-edu (is this correct), are the
packages consistent with Debian?  In other words, debian-edu is expected to
release with Debian Lenny and have the same, newer, software packages, isn't
it?  You basically stated this, but I just want to be clear.

Many, many, and, Many thanks for your time, contributions, and cooperation.
