Teaching tech to tots: The use of Linux and open source in pre-schools (iTWire)
iTWire has a look at using Linux for pre-school education. The author installed Edubuntu on some older machines for his child's pre-school with excellent results. "There are a rich suite of components making up Edubuntu. For me the standout was GCompris which consists of many fun activities involving mathematics, science, geography, reading and spelling, memory development and more."
