There are, as I posted, many decent kids games on linux. Some are specific to KDE (a windows-like desktop for linux), some for Gnome (yet another) and others will work on all X-windows systems. My daughter enjoys "Frozen Bubbles", "Tux Racer", "Kolf (KDE miniature Golf)" and others, has become an expert user of "Tuxpaint"--a truly great program. Wine (a windows-emulator) is a problematic program but many windows games can be made to work through if you have patience. All of the math/spelling puzzle games from "KPI" run perfectly. "MVP" games (bridge, backgammon, etc) run fine, windows freecell and solitaire work 100% (but there are linux version, in someways less developed, in other ways nicer, of these). Multimedia stuff is more problematic but a lot can be configured for Wine. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
