| About Freeduc
|
| Freeduc is a French, Debian-based Linux distribution designed to run from an external USB device. Originally created in 2001 by Organization for Free Software in Education and Teaching (OFSET) with the objective of promoting the development of free software for educational purposes, it is now maintained by Linux enthusiasts at Lycée Jean Bart in Dunkerque, France. The Freeduc images are provided in two variants, "heavy" and "simple", both of which offer exactly the same software, but the former is designed for 16 GB USB drives and includes storage space for newly created files. The distribution uses the Cinnamon desktop.
