We have a similar setup at home too. A WinXP box for my wife and 
children and a Kubuntu monster - Athlon64 x2 4200 with 4GB RAM - for me. 
Slowly  though my wife is gaining confidence and familiarity with the 
Kubuntu machine, and my son, at the grand old age of three, loves 
Edubuntu already on an old laptop.  As an IT Consultant, I informally 
look after the two PCs at my son's pre-school, I have installed Edubuntu 
on one of them and it is gaining universal approval from pupils, parents 
and staff alike!!! Great for Linux, get the children used to an 
alternative to MS!!!
