Another one you should look up that is free, is “Sugarlabs”. This is some of the software they use for OLPC (One Laptop Per Child). Has a few neat features such as the Journal which makes the kids accountable. Check it out and see what you think.

Tarun: Good point…I’ll edit the post when I have a chance. We just welcomed our 3rd child a couple weeks ago, and I’ve been pretty busy tending to the family. Thanks for commenting!

I’m not a parent.. but a college student.. so i’ve my younger brother and some cousins all in the age group of 7-12 years.. they all love Edubuntu.. and esp. the Chemistry program called Kalzium.. I’d like to mention that you stop referring to Edubuntu as program and refer it as Operating System..

This is great! I homeschool two daughters and my youngest (9yo) LOVES the computer. There’s no way she’s touching my Mac but I did give her my old Windows Machine. This program sounds perfect for her since she is an avid letter writer! Thanks for the info!
