Darn, I just spent two hours looking for the iso's.

I agree this is a good idea. But isn't this similar to the Windows Themes? How easily would this be applied to KDE and Gnome?
Of course with these products being targeted at children, a distro with limited access would have to be developed. Something simular to Knoppix or Cluggix would be good. The parents can *easily* install to the HDD with parental monitoring set "right-out-of-the-box". Net access restricted / logged, an age level / security levels and themes that can be selected for the desktop and installed.
I'm sure most parents would want this for their kids.

WOW...downloaded the ISO's and installed on the machine I was having
redhat
troubles with. Works like a dream and my X-Config works fine now.
Although, seeing the disembodied head of Barbie on the head of a penguin
leading me through the install wizard was a bit disconcerting and somewhat
scary.
The OS had no problems recognizing my hardware. Great peice of software
was
included in the bundle. It is an internet accelertor. Click the button
or
go from the command line and the sound of a pink corvette screechs through
your speakers and speeds off to its tasks. Strange naming conventions
though...my removable hard drive was listed as the Pack & Go motorhome. I
am sure I will grow to love it as I get more involved with it.
Thanks Marcel for introducing me an awsome distro. Kicks Gentoo's ass completely!!!
