Childrens Ubuntu. Was: Has Ubuntu Replaced Windows on Your Box?

[David Andrew]

I installed edubuntu and my 7 year old really likes it and uses it
spontaneously.  What was important for my older son was when he was about 8
we got a programme called the games factory (windows) which enabled him to
design games - being the active developer of games was very good on a number
of levels - I will need to find a linux version.  Little Wizard is a
programming tool for kids I will look at it over Christmas - does anybody
else know any others?
