Answer:
1. Edubuntu, previously known as Ubuntu Education Edition, was an official derivative of the Ubuntu operating system designed for use in classrooms inside schools, homes and communities.
Included with Edubuntu is the Linux Terminal Server Project and many applications relevant to education including GCompris, KDE Edutainment Suite, Sabayon Profile Manager, Pessulus Lockdown Editor, Edubuntu Menueditor, LibreOffice, Gnome Nanny and iTalc. Edubuntu CDs were previously available free of charge through their Shipit service; since version 8.10 (2008) it is only available as a download in a DVD format.
Edubuntu's default GUI is Unity, while GNOME is still available. Unity has been the default GUI since the release of 12.04. Since release 7.10, KDE is also available as Edubuntu KDE. In 2010, Edubuntu and the Qimo 4 Kids project were working on providing Qimo within Edubuntu, but this was not done as it would not have fit on a CD.
2.An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware, software resources, and provides common services for computer programs. For ex - Microsoft Windows , MacOS.
3. Images can be added to a document in several ways: by inserting an image file, directly from a
graphics program or a scanner, from a file stored on your computer, or by copying and pasting from
a source being viewed on your computer.
Inserting an image file
When the image is in a file stored on the computer, you can insert it into a LibreOffice document
using either of the following methods.
Drag and drop
1) Open a file browser window and locate the image you want to insert.
2) Drag the image into the Writer document and drop it where you want it to appear. A faint
vertical line marks where the image will be dropped.
This method embeds (saves a copy of) the image file in the Writer document. To link the file
instead of embedding it, hold down the Control+Shift keys while dragging the image.
4. A text box , text field or text entry box is a control element of a graphical user interface, that should enable the user to input text information to be used by a program.
5. To replace text At times, you may discover that you've made a mistake repeatedly throughout your document—such as misspelling a person's name—or that you need to exchange a particular word or phrase for another. You can use Word's Find and Replace feature to quickly make revisions.
