Skolelinux, a Linux distribution based on Debian, providing an out-of-the box environment of a completely configured school network, is now at version 6.0.4 RC1.

Developers of Skolelinux have advised users of 6.0.4 Beta 3 to upgrade using the apt-get upgrade command, via a terminal.

Highlights of Skolelinux 6.0.4 RC1:

· A typo causing the CUPS queue flushing and automatic restarting feature to fail was fixed; · Sitesummary2ldapdhcp is now more robust and and you can change it to create GOsa netdevices instead of server LDAP objects; · Clients that were set up to shut down at night, will now stay up for at least an hour if they are turned on manually between 16:00 and 07:00; · The automatic Nagios monitoring is now checking that the DHCP server process is running; · GOsa was updated to remove DHCP entries when a host is removed to avoid leaving behind cruft and to transliterate full names to ASCII when generating user names, to avoid half UTF-8 characters in proposed usernames; · The documentation was updated.

A complete changelog is available in the official announcement.
