All are in (Edu)buntu and other Debian-based distros, but we have more current versions at the web site. They are all completely free GPL software and are fun, educational, and family-friendly. They are all native Linux apps but also have win32 and MacOSX builds. We want to make the world a better place!

An adult is lost if you change the start button to Menu button even though menu is probably a better description. If an adult can mount that hurdle they can be on their way to owning their own computer again.
