Qimo


QuinnCo Inc.: My kids would love this. It would turn the computer into a big Leapster. Proof that there’s a distro for everything, I guess.

Qimo is a desktop operating system designed for kids. Based on the open source Ubuntu Linux desktop, Qimo comes pre-installed with educational games for children aged 3 and up. Qimo’s interface has been designed to be intuitive and easy to use, providing large icons for all installed games, so that even the youngest users have no trouble selecting the activity they want.

    This looks awesome – my boy is already fascinated w/ computer keyboards, chords & monitors & he’s only 7 months old. Now, if I can only find the hardware to install it on.
