Valencia (27th October 2008).- The Councillor of Education, Alejandro Font de Mora, has stated today that the new LliureX version launched by the Department of Technology for Innovation and Education will make language labs available for educational institutions. According to his words, it is “a new pedagogical tool for aiding to improve language learning, within the framework for fostering multilingualism and promoting English learning”.

Comunitat Valenciana. This is the first school to be using LliureX Lab, that turns computer rooms into language labs allowing teachers to use all kind of audiovisual and multimedia resources.

LliureX is an initiative driven by the Department of Education of Regional Government with the purpose of using free software ICTs in the Valencian Education System

LliureX is a GNU/Linux based distribution developed by the Department of Education intended as an operating system for educational institutions throughout the region.

LliureX uses exclusively free software and it is distributed free of charge.

Package repositories for the new LliureX 8.09 “Gaia”, based on Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon), are already available in lliurex.net.

The update from the former version (lliureX 07.11) can be done using the update-manager. However, since this is a beta version release, automatic update to LliureX 08.09 cannot be made without having previously activated it. As soon as the final version is released, this step will not be necessary.

These improvements have allowed the regional government a 22 million euro savings on licences.
