So much fun
House on Red Corner · 2007-09-23
Over the course of the night, I installed edubuntu on one of the machines that I have lying about here. Edubuntu is a Linux based computer Operating system which comes with a number of educational based applications. Currently, our little girl is using a suite of programs called gcompris. She likes the interacts and the games, but is really only capable of learning how to position the mouse cursor- there is a fun game which has white bricks over a picture and when the mouse pointer is on top of the brick it disappears. Each time she clears the board there is a big smiley face and some words of encouragement, which she generally tries to repeat.
So fun hearing her try to say stuff like “Awesome” and “Way to Go!” As she is only two and a half this will be a great way for her to grow and develop and learn about computers, plus I am thrilled that she is already a Linux User! Free Software! “Way to Go!”
