This site aims to be a resource for folks looking for good software for their young children to enjoy and learn with on linux. It would also be fun to eventually come up with a kid-centric linux distribution, so some resources towards that end may be found here as well. Below you will find some software resources, but there is also a page being built of websites that have online activities that should run under linux and other items of interest.
