I will have to repair a computer, which will be used by kids (9-12 years).This computer had Vista, but I will install a Gnu/Linux distro, for security/pedagogic reasons.I just come here to ask if you have any tips to secure the thing, and if you have some applications to recommend; like browser-filter, kid-protection, parental-control, encyclopedia, pedagogic tools...I have also looked for a child-friendly Gnu/Linux OS, but they seems kind of old, with not so nice GUI, that is maybe fit for a 5 year old, but not for older children familiar with OSX, Windows, Netflix and other HD entertainment.They will need something more adult than DoudouLinux.I'm still looking for a kids-specific Gnu/Linux, but what I am inclined to do is to set-up Debian, with some specific application like parental-control, etc.
How to set-up a Gnu/Linux distro for kids?
linux;software rec;distros;gnu
1) Edubuntu,It is a part of Ubuntu Project.2) Qimo, It is also based on Ubuntu.3) Ubermix, It's almost same as Ubuntu but It has applications which are for kids.For Kid-Safety applications, There Is 'Parental Control' which is help you control your web-browser.There are a lot of time time organizer applications for to get control how much time PC going to open.
