Re: [school-discuss] what pieces of software would you demo to
My 7 yr old son has been using Knoppix for 2 years. Are you implying the
interface looks too childish? ;)

I'd like to see knoppix with with a "true" third grader interface. Kid
knoppix still has too much. Folks need to see something really simple,
that
will match developmentally-appropriate-in-school-context teaching
methods. I
created a "kid user" on a machine (kde 3.1 on RH8.0) at one time to
create a
really simple interface, with the idea of porting that config elsewhere,
but
have not had the time to do anything more.
