TuxType and TuxMath (thank you)

[alan c]

I have for the first time very recently  been able to provide a
machine for real end users. They are adults with learning difficulty.
It is notable that Tux Math and Tux Typing seem to be favoured more
than many other games. And greatly enjoyed!
A big Thank You for the effort!
