I have been looking for the best Linux distro to install for a small child. He’s quite handy with the PC already and I would like to find something that lets him use age-appropriate software easily. Qimo may just be the best Linux for kids.

I happened along Qimo 4 Kids today, and this looks very exciting! As their website explains, they are forked from Ubuntu:

Qimo is a desktop operating system designed for kids. Based on the open source Ubuntu Linux desktop, Qimo comes pre-installed with educational games for children aged 3 and up. They also point out they are the best Linux for kids.

Qimo’s interface has been designed to be intuitive and easy to use, providing large icons for all installed games, so that even the youngest users have no trouble selecting the activity they want.

I’ll definitely have to check it out and report my findings, to see if it really is the best Linux for kids.
