Not Linux... however I found George Mills development of UCBLogo a very capable programme when we started home-schooling many moons ago. It is GNU Public License available at http://www.softronix.com or via anonymous ftp at ftp.cherupakha.media.mit.edu/pub. There is a huge collection of resources listed at George's website, his MultiMedia Logic Design System maybe worth a look too. Brian Harvey's three volumes of "Computer Science Logo Style" are/were available in the Canterbury University Science Library, if your six year old is extremely precocious! Seymour Papert played a large part in the development of Logo, his (along with John Taylor Gatto) critique of "schooling" appeals immensely to my liberal disposition. 8-7 Check: http://www.papert.org http://www.preservenet.com/theory/Gatto.html HTH...
