First of all, I need to remind people that this CD is still in development and testing.
Our aim with this version of Knoppix is to show parents, teachers, school administrators, and school school board members that Linux is viable on the desktop. For that reason, we decided to use KDE 3.x for the GUI, and other more eye candy items, instead of focusing on a proper student desktop.
As far as a fully kids oriented Knoppix based solution, I would highly recommend Freeduc, from <A HREF="http://www.ofset.org/">www.ofset.org</a ofset.org>. Ofset has made choices, such as using XFCE that are more student oriented.
For our Linux on the Desktop installations, we normally use IceWM, and a very basic icon set.
Now, for what people are looking for, the download for the CD is now linked on the <A HREF="http://www.osef.org/">OSEF website</a osef.org>, and has been downloaded over 600 times. Anyone interested in mirroring, please contact me, hmcgregor@osef.org.
If you are interested in a fully labeled CD, please email requests, including mailing address, to hmcgregor@osef.org.
