Just a bit of a note.  I have been using CVS snapshots of TuxMath since
LinuxWorld Expo, it has been runing great, with the one exception of being
a little TOO FAST on either Pentium III 733 workstations, or my 1GHz AMD
Athlon4 laptop.

We have started testing it at Corbett Elementary school.  It ran too fast
for a 2nd grade, Gifted and Talented education student, though the kids
love it anyway.
