Here,
you
can learn about the UKnow4Kids Live DVD, a Linux distribution compiling
educational and gaming software for children 2-
to 10-years-old. The distribution is intended for broad usage by
a non-technical audience (regular parents). Because UKnow4Kids
runs as a "live DVD," no installation or configuration is required, it
is essentially indestructible
for children's use, and it is impossible for the hard drive of the host
PC to be affected when the live DVD is running. UKnow4Kids also
runs well on old Intel
hardware, so it should run fine on a Pentium
II with 256 MB RAM (that's what my kid uses) or better.
UKnow4Kids provides
a familiar
Windows-like/Mac-like user experience, requiring only minimal computer
experience to run. To give you a headstart, UKnow4Kids
automatically loads the premiere educational application for young
children, Gcompris.UKnow4Kids can be used by a child alone or in partnership with the caregiver.
UKnow4Kids is based on the most excellent distribution, Arch Linux.
