Seeing this on LWN just two lines above Skolelinux / Debian Edu release - there's possibly a lot in common in setting up workstations / networks etc. Debian Edu is a Debian pure blend as AIMS wants to be - would it make more sense to produce a "setting up classroom / workstation server LAN task" under tasksel in Debian itself?

Yes, Debian Edu is fully included in Debian, but the configuration parts of it requires that it be installed using the Debian Edu install media - i.e. some parts of what is included in Debian stay dormant when used from Debian.

AIMS is for single users, whereas Skolelinux a.k.a. Debian Edu - primarily - is for a centralized school network.
