Jay Allen, over at Blogging Baby, has a great review up of Edubuntu, the designed-especially-for-kids variant of the Ubuntu flavor of Linux.Jay decided to run the operating system through a little experiment to answer a few questions he had: "But how easy is Edubuntu to set up for the average, non-tech-savvy family? How easy it is for kids to use? Does it offer major advantages over using Windows XP? To answer these questions, I spent a night installing Edubuntu, and then let my children - eight-year-old Neve, six-year-old Jaxon, and four-year-old Veda - use and abuse it for a day. Throughout the whole process, I tried to act every bit like the average, low-tech parent, and not like the software developer I’ve been for the past 12 years."
