Best regards, Daniel
Okay, to show the flexibility of the Slax system, and how bad I wanted to avoid mowing my lawn, I whipped up a customized version of the EDU-Nix Dual Mode CD II, it has Windows Installers for Tuxtype, Tuxpaint and Tuxmath, Abiword, Childsplay and GCompris. On autorun, a menu (should) popup allowing you to select which program you would like to install.
In the Linux Live Environment, there is Gcompris, kde edutainment suite, tuxtype2, tuxpaint, tuxmath, openoffice.org 2, stellarium, and more. The only thing I didnt yet implement in the live linux environment is childsplay (i need a little bit to build a module for it and figure out the dependencies, but one will be coming shortly...)
You can grab the "EDU-Nix II Brandon Edition" Here: http://www.edu-nix.org/download/EDU-Nix_II_Brandon.iso http://www.edu-nix.org/download/EDU-Nix_II_Brandon.iso.md5sum
I will also be writing articles on customizing your own cd and creating modules for slax. But first, it's either the lawn or sleep on the couch, if you catch my drift.
Regards, Shane

Let me know the full list of program you see missing and I will add them to the updated 1.3 I will be mastering. I will do my best to add them all but I would like to keep them to the ones the have both Linux and Windows version of the programs. I will be updating to 1.3 anyways.Cool! Here's the ones we tend to use a lot at Brandon that have windows counterparts: TuxType TuxMath (Tux, of Math Command) TuxPaint Abiword Childsplay GCompris
