Re: [seul-edu] Linux in Elementry

I am getting together with an elementary school teacher about trying to
get a linux lab set up for the elementary school kids. She likes some of
the games I've showed her, and she has brought her kids to our community
lab. And they seemed to really enjoy it.  I showed her Tux Typing Monday
evening, and she thought it was adorable :) And I showed her
Linuxforkids.com and she wanted to see what those games were like. But
since she ran windows, she couldn't get them to run. 

I would say for your Distro, don't get too far ahead of yourself, but it
will bepossible :) Just hang in there while Linux is slowly taking a hold
on schools.
