My two sons were given OLPCs, but they don't use them for much, yet. They request to use my
Linux workstation (for playing and editing Dungeon Crawl) and my Windows laptop (for
Headsprout, which has been gloriously successful at helping both boys learn to read -- our
three year old is reading pretty well now), and my seven year old requests that I fix the
hardware problem in his Linux workstation so that he can play Dominions 3.
So I infer that I am going to have to install Flash player on the little one's OLPC so that he
will use that to play Headsprout instead of my Windows laptop so that I can use the latter for
work.

Installing the Flash Player on the OLPC is very easy:
su -l
wget flash90124.notlong.com
rpm -i flash-plugin-9.0.124.0-release.i386.rpm
exit
as per http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Adobe_Flash
