JD's Linux Love

The computers the girls use are hand me downs from work and have been very unstable lately. Probably just years of WinXP cruft. So I’ve been thinking of reformatting the hard drives and throwing a Linux on there. I could just use my regular distro, openSUSE, but this month’s Linux Format magazine has a feature called “Get a Better Linux!”, where they propose a distro for different kinds of users. For kids, they recommended Qimo, which is a Ubuntu offshoot, with educational games and a special interface. I’m going to give it a shot.
