Childsplay is a suite of educational games for young children. It
aims to be more games-like than gcompris.

I've been trying to convince my boss that his kids should be learning Linux. This kind of educational Linux would be VERY helpful in turning homeschoolers from the dark side Wink .

well this is from chase....the resident expert in my house on kid's games.

Quote:
it is good. i like the sound memory game, the table tennis game, and the spelling game the best. the others are good too.


so chase really liked it. there aren't as many games as gcompris has but i am sure that this is definately something the programmers are going to expand on. install was a breeze with synaptic. i am getting to the point that, though i really like suse, the ubuntu and clones definately update their repositories much more. i seriously doubt that i would find this on the suse ftp, and the packman site turned up nothing on it. well that's all on my end...so the final vote....it's a winner. Wink
