==Design and principles==
Skolelinux offers four different installation profiles on one compact disk that will easily install a pre-configured educational [[computer network|network]], including a main [[Server (computing)|server]], [[workstation]]s and [[Thin client]]-servers. In short, its major goals are to:

* Create a [[Linux distribution]] tailored for schools
—{{snd}} based on their needs and resources.
** Simplify maintenance of computer facilities.
** Provide a [[thin client]]-solution, which eases maintenance, reduces costs and allows use of old hardware.
* Cut costs by using [[open source]] software and re-using old hardware.
* Identify and facilitate suitable programs for use in the schools.
* Enable teachers to provide high quality IT teaching to their students.
* Localize the IT infrastructure by translating the software pages to both official writing forms of [[Norwegian language|Norwegian]] –{{snd}} [[Bokmål]] and [[Nynorsk]], as well as [[Northern Sami]]. This goal is later extended to reach out to all languages though in schools around the world.
