Well, to revive the list a bit. :-) I was looking for an environment usable by children at the age 1-3 years. The primary requirements were: 1. To be very robust (a typical computer "use" at this age is random hitting keys and moving and clicking a mouse, possibly observing what happens); 2. to provide means for viewing photos; 3. and being partially manageable by so small children.
Unfortunately debian-jr appeared to be of no use for me. I could mostly find only metapackages to install certain sets of applications. What I actually needed and expected was an environment described above. Finally I've found Freevo (http://freevo.sf.net) that fulfills my requirements quite well and has been serving well enough so far. There are still some problems with it: 1. It is not in Debian and at the time I checked there was no ITP for it; 2. it depends on software not being present in Debian; 3. and finally it contains significant amount of bugs. Does anybody know why Freevo is not in Debian? Is it just that nobody was interested in packaging or are there any special problems? [Disclaimer: Unfortunately I have almost no opportunity to contribute now and that won't improve for at least the following year. :-(( ] Milan Zamazal -- http://www.zamazal.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
