Sorry i made an error referring to UbuntuStudio a distribution of Ubuntu with wonderful software to record play mix and remastering music.
I think you can add all edubuntu deb package without define any special deb repository.
Fro example from terminal you can try to install:
sudo apt-get install edubuntu-desktop

sudo apt-get install kde

run that in a terminal, when it has finished (a while), log out, click 'sessions' and choose kde

and yes edubuntu software should be usable

Can you help with this problem?
