LliureX is billed as an educational initiative focused on the use of free digital tools. It is a customized Edubuntu Linux distribution.
One of the latest features is ‘LliureX-Lab’, an application that lets users use several PCs in the classroom as an aid to language teaching. It allows teachers to use multimedia and interactive elements. Teachers can also share their desktops with students, and create group videoconferences, helping to review students’ work.
According to the European Commission, LliureX is used on over 110,000 PCs in schools in the Valencia region, saving 36 million euro over the past nine years.

What's a Linux distribution ("distro")? |
| A distro provides the user with a desktop environment, preloaded applications, and ways to update and maintain the system. Each distro makes different choices, deciding which open source projects to install and provides custom written programs. They can have different philosophies. Some distros are intended for desktop computers, some for servers without a graphical interface, and others for special uses. Because Linux is an open source operating system, combinations of software vary between Linux distros. |
