I remember reading that Edubuntu was being rolled into an add-on starting with Hardy. That being so, would someone please EDUCATE me and explain the difference in the following links:

A. 'Ubuntu Educational Add-on requires a Ubuntu desktop already be installed'.
http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/edubuntu/8.04/

1. Does this mean that the Add-on converts the desktop to a server?
2. Or is a 'Server' as previously existed in prior versions not need?
3. Will the Add-on work for the Ubuntu Server?

B. However, the following link provide both Classroom Server and Classroom Server Add-on images for platforms other than i386.
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/ports/daily/current/

1. Does this mean that if [section A.above] doesn't provide a server, one must change to this platform to obtain a server setup?

C. Or did I completely misunderstand???!!!

Thanks,
ivory
