Gnome apps would be better as that is the system that i currently have. A game called tuxmath comes to mind. It is nice game about basic math operations. Also I have heard that tuxpaint and tuxtype are nice apps for children. gbrainy is also nice game but it may be too much for 4 year old kid. You may want to install edubuntu-desktop package. It is a metapackage which pulls in lot of applications targeted at children. Cheers, Onkar -- Passion - Some people climb mountains - others write Free software.

Cheers, Onkar Thanks Onkar, tuxmath is already installed (and mentioned in my post), tuxpaint and tuxtype will give a try and gbrainy is certainly beyond kids.

I can't seem to find it. I am looking for Apps that will teach a kid how to handle a mouse/keyboard, teach alphabets/numbers, simple math, and a few games to help them not get bored. Right now I am having tuxmath and Childsplay on my system. Any other not-so-humongous apps that you can suggest? -- Regards Narendra Diwate -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

I'm quite sure that KDE has a lot of education specific apps, you might also want to look at edubuntu-desktop and what apps they ship ( and iirc most of them are KDE apps ). -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
