Ubuntu + Doom/Doom 2 ;)
Try getting a Scumm emulator and hook them up with LucasArts games like
Sam & Max, Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island, etc.
Also, for the 10-year-old, if you can get on Steam, racing games like
TrackMania United are free downloads and come with track editors so the
kids can get into building their own race-tracks.
Or, get a NES/SNES emulator for Ubuntu and then you've got access to a
huge library of ROM games. N64 emulators work pretty well on Ubuntu as
well, depending on your graphics card and drivers, so games like Diddy
Kong Racing, Mario 64, Tetrisphere, etc can be at your disposal as well.
If you're looking for games like Math Blaster Mystery or Number
Munchers, well, I'm sure there's Linux ports around or Wine is always an
option.
... and don't forget Oregon Trail!
Mix it up with a variety of options and see what they go for. I got my
eight-year-old next-door-neighbor into Portal back home in the States,
so you never know!

Hi Guys
I am looking at dedicating a PC to my kids at home. However, I would
like to install a linux Distro that is rich in children's games and I
mean starting from 2 year olds to as old as 10 years. Please advise on
which one I can use and where I can get it.
PS: Thanks for the generous offers that came my way regarding the
online video tutorial I had to view last weekend. I managed to do my
thing at the Uganda Christian University and indeed they have
BAND-----WIDTH.
regards
