Debian Junior Project
Summary
Internet
Debian Jr. Internet tools

For children, a wide variety of Internet tools are not necessary to get started. Most users will find the Iceweasel web browser covers their needs. As children's familiarity and sophistication of use of the Internet develops, you will probably want to add more Internet clients to the child's system.

The list to the right includes various software projects which are of some interest to the Debian Junior Project. Currently, only a few of them are available as Debian packages. It is our goal, however, to include all software in Debian Junior which can sensibly add to a high quality Debian Pure Blend.

For a better overview of the project's availability as a Debian package, each head row has a color code according to this scheme:

If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for Debian Junior to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to send a description of that project to the Debian Junior mailing list

Iceweasel is a redesign of the Mozilla browser component, similar to Galeon, K-Meleon and Camino, but written using the XUL user interface language and designed to be lightweight and cross-platform.

This browser is based on the Firefox source-code, with minor modifications. Historically, this browser was previously known as Firebird and Phoenix.
