Besides, support of Windows 2000 ESDA is no longer provided from the 2012/13 school year. For migration of ESDA on Windows platform, please contact the Indicators Section of the Education Bureau.
* Note: Most of the schools are now running ESDA on Windows, only a few schools are running ESDA on Linux. There is a wide variation in their Linux distributions which often leads to compatibility problems. Moreover, in contrast with Windows, Linux users are required to have more sophisticated technical knowledge in managing their systems, but support from software suppliers is often limited. As a result, some functions of ESDA could not perform normally on the system. Therefore, EDB will phase out the Linux version of ESDA, system update and support are no longer provided from the 2012/13 school year. For migration from Linux to Windows platform, please contact the Indicators Section of the Education Bureau.
