About
=====

We provide a fully integrated default Linux desktop installer and live image for BFH staff and students. It is based on Debian 8 (jessie) with GNOME 3 and selected backports from the upcoming Debian 9 (stretch).

It comes in two variants: one to be used with a BFH account and one without.

It comes in multiple media flavours each: combined ISO and USB/HDD images, PXE netboot, Terminal Server and OVA/VirtualBox VMs, for the amd64 and i386 architectures.

If you are interested in regular status updates on the further development of the client, you might want to subscribe to our `bfh-linux-announce@lists.bfh.ch <https://lists.bfh.ch/listinfo/bfh-linux-announce>`_ and/or `bfh-linux-users@lists.bfh.ch <https://lists.bfh.ch/listinfo/bfh-linux-users>`_ mailing lists.

.. HINT:: Please also use the `BFH Linux Users <mailto:bfh-linux-users@lists.bfh.ch>`_ mailing list for feedback, problems, and questions.
