lernstick
What is lernstick?
lernstick is a special operating system which can be installed on standard USB flash drives, USB hard drives or memory cards so that (almost) any computer can be booted from these storage media. This way a hard drive with an installed operation system is no longer necessary.
Why lernstick?
Using a lernstick system incurs less costs because the maintenance effort can be reduced significantly. The software used in the lernstick distribution is royalty-free, so no licensing fees have to be paid. Data synchronization between several computers is no longer necessary because they are always stored on the personal lernstick storage media.
What is on a lernstick?
The lernstick distribution contains educational programs, multimedia software, a complete office package, games, programs for digital picture editing, Internet applications and has space for personal data.
All programs used in the lernstick distribution have been tested by us and were classified to several categories and fields of application. A current list can be found here.
