We home-schooled my daughter during the 1/3 time she had us until the
Family Court in its infinite wisdom chooped her time by more than half.
Now we do what we can, which is precious little. We use Linux
throughout, mainly for things like web browsing and logic games like
xkobo. We also use StarOffice for WP and spreadsheet stuff. I use GIMP
and XV for presentations. My daughter seems to enjoy pinkifying her KDE
themes.
