Edubuntu is distributed on three types of images described below.
Desktop CD
The desktop CD allows you to try Edubuntu without changing your computer at all, and at your option to install it permanently later. You will need at least 320MB of RAM to install from this CD. You can install additional educational programs using the classroom server add-on CD.
There are two images available, each for a different type of computer:
- PC (Intel x86) desktop CD
- For almost all PCs. This includes most machines with Intel/AMD/etc type processors and almost all computers that run Microsoft Windows, as well as newer Apple Macintosh systems based on Intel processors. Choose this if you are at all unsure.
- 64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop CD
- Choose this to take full advantage of computers based on the AMD64 or EM64T architecture (e.g., Athlon64, Opteron, EM64T Xeon). If you have a non-64-bit processor made by AMD, or if you need full support for 32-bit code, use the Intel x86 images instead.
Classroom server CD
The classroom server CD allows you to install Edubuntu permanently on a computer. It includes LTSP (Linux Terminal Server Project) support, providing out-of-the-box thin client support. After installation you can install additional educational programs using the classroom server add-on CD.

Classroom server add-on CD
The classroom server add-on CD contains additional useful packages, including many educational programs and all available language packs. It requires that an Edubuntu desktop be installed on the machine.
