Hello

I am looking for a Linux Distribution which I can use in a Live CD/DVD mode and dedicated to Educational Resources and Games (like Puzzles) for children. I would like to use it as a teaching aid for a child, who is about 5 years old. I have heard about Edubuntu, but the trouble is I can not use it in Live CD/DVD mode and installing Linux will not serve my purpose.

Please suggest. (and please do not tell me about the Big G)

Thank you.

distro watch search -> *distrowatch.com/search.php?category=Education#distrosearch (lists most educational distros)
try playing with the filters(like education, live cd, dvd etc) -> *distrowatch.com/search.php

:smile:


im afraid to tell you that edubuntu doesnt exist as a live cd/dvd now.
but you may want to tryout unetbootin. with unetbootin you can install edubuntu on a usb drive and thus retain the mobility of a cd/dvd.

I was also thinking about Ubuntu Live DVD, but could not ascertain whether it contains all the necessary software :?:

Who stole my Alpaca!
This question was asked in the Ubuntu mailing lists. Ill simplify it for you. Theres a tool called remastersys which can be used to create Live CDs. You can use it to create an edubuntu live cd/dvd. Check the following link and read through the thread.

Hope this helps.

I think you should start your own thread, in that way you would get more specific hits and responses. BTW, check out linuxquestions.org, its a dedicated Linux users' community
