"The openSUSE-Education team is proud to present a special, 64-bit
edition of openSUSE Edu Li-f-e with the MATE desktop environment.
Li-f-e MATE edition came about to support schools in Gujarat, India.
They needed a synfig studio: a very simple-to-use C and Java IDE,
apart from standard fare of complete office suite and other
applications. Gujarat now starts teaching OpenOffice (LibreOffice) in
the 9th grade, and the Linux operating system all the way to shell
scripting in 10th, and Java, C, HTML, JavaScript in the 11th and 12th
grades. This Li-f-e edition tries to get everything they need in an
integrated bundle which they can use on a stand-alone PC."
