Edubuntu for KIDS!

As a Software Developer, I'm always checking out new technology and digging the web for cool stuff. For the past week I've been playing around with Ubuntu, which is an operating system based on Linux/Unix. I found it very easy to install and to use, and very cool with a lot of animations.
Today I came across Edubuntu, here is small introduction about it with some screenshots:

"Ubuntu" is an ancient African word, meaning "humanity to others". The Edubuntu Linux distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to schools, through its customized school environment. The current version of Edubuntu is aimed at classroom use, and future versions of Edubuntu will expand to other educational usage, such as university use.
















The best thing about this is that it is completely FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that it would be great if Help and Save Africa could get 5 to 10 computers with Edubuntu in a classroom and introduce the kids in Africa to computers and get them interested to the technology.

You can help out by making a donation and passing the word.

Please leave some feedbacks/comments to let us know what you think about this.
