Hi Frank, I installed Mate using 'apt-get install education-desktop-mate'. I didn't face any challenges.
The results on my thin clients are impressive! I think, Mate is not as fast as LXDE and Xfce, but definitely better than Gnome and Kde. To me this is a true option that can work well for thin clients. I noticed though that the application menu is organized differently from Kde. Wouldn't it be better to somehow synchronize these things to avoid confusion among users. Kind regards, Roman > roman.me...@gismap.ch: >> >> Is MATE also available for DebianEdu?
