“I’ve installed GNU/Linux PCs in environments where young
children were using the computer but never really took the time to
see what additional software they could benefit from. When I
started looking to see what is available now, what I found was a
huge treasure chest, full of software for all types of
applications, ranging from mathematics, typing, memorization
skills, counting, letters/number recognition; the list is virtually
infinite. There is definitely no shortage of software here, and
even I am surprised at the huge list of titles that are available.
Best of all, with just a few clicks any one of them can be
installed, looked at, and uninstalled if desired.”
