BTW I installed Mandrake Linux (v. 9.0) on my son's PC. It was a breeze to install, it works very well and has many children's games/edu programs. The PC cost me $199 from Tiger Direct. It came with Lindows OS pre-installed, but I didn't want to pay for their yearly click-and-run service so I installed Mandrake instead. My son has a great time playing on his computer and he loves Tux! -Andy Lopata -----Original Message----- From: owner-schoolforge-discuss@schoolforge.net [mailto:owner-schoolforge-discuss@schoolforge.net]On Behalf Of Paul Coelho Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2003 2:45 PM To: schoolforge-discuss@schoolforge.net Subject: [school-discuss] Kids and Linux Hi: If this is a newby question I apologize in advance. Is there a mechanism by which to get kids - mine 7 & 9yrs - exposed to the Linux OS short of purchasing a system to run it at home? Any resources you can point me to - Linux OS training for kids - would be appreciated. TIA Paul Coelho _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?
