[21:21] <han`> how come gbrainy isn't a part of edubuntu, seems like a good program for it
[21:24] <han`> also, is there a distro out there that is like super kid friendly?  ie big buttons and stuff so a kid can navigate the OS?
[21:32] <LaserJock> han`: what is gbrainy?
[21:32] <pygi> LaserJock, new app on the block, C#
[21:32] <pygi> game of logic
[21:32] <LaserJock> han`: I think other than Edubuntu, perhaps OLPCs Sugar interface is the most kid-friendly
[21:33] <pygi> and EEE PC's interface perhaps
[21:33] <laga> i dont think the EEE PC one is open source
[21:33] <pygi> han`, I dont think gbrainy was out in time for gutsy
[21:35] <LaserJock> isn't EEEPC just a standard linux interface?
[21:36] <pygi> LaserJock, nop, not really
[21:36] <LaserJock> I thought they just slapped a distro on there, hmm
[21:36] <han`> LaserJock, gbrainy is a set of logic, memory, # puzzles
[21:37] <han`> oh yeah, the eee pc is a good idea
[21:37] <pygi> LaserJock, sec
[21:37] <han`> probably a development version or something
[21:37] <pygi> http://picasaweb.google.hr/lh/searchbrowse?q=EEEPC+screenshots&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a&um=1&sa=N&tab=wq#1
[21:37] <han`> LaserJock, it looks like gbrainy isn't even in the package manager, but i just installed it on edubuntu using the ubuntu package and it works well
[21:37] <han`> it's a little tough for kids, maybe high school kids+
[21:37] <pygi> han`, as I told you ... it wasnt out before gutsy me thinks :)
[21:38] <LaserJock> well, it's not even in hardy
[21:38] <LaserJock> han`: a package has to be in the archives before we ship it ;-)
[21:38] <han`> yeah ok, well consider it a suggestion then :)
[21:38] <LaserJock> thanks for the suggestion :-)
[21:38] <LaserJock> we could use some newer apps
[21:39] <LaserJock> I'm not sure what the current situation is with the disks and how much room we'll have
[21:39] <han`> it's fairly polished, but high difficulty
[21:39] <han`> it is like the hardest questions on the math SAT i would say, in terms of difficulty
[21:39] <LaserJock> I hope it's quite a bit and we can add lots of good packages
[21:39] <pygi> laga, they use xandros distribution
[21:39] <LaserJock> han`: excellent
[21:39] <laga> pygi: yes, the commercial version.
[21:40] <laga> their user interface is still not OSS
[21:40] <pygi> laga, perhaps ... but hopefully it'll become soon
[21:40] <laga> true
[21:40] <LaserJock> meh
[21:41] <pygi> what? :P
[21:41] <LaserJock> I don't really care
[21:41] <han`> i'm looking at the OLPC site
[21:41] <LaserJock> it's an interesting look interface, but it's nothing spectacular
[21:42] <pygi> :P
[21:42] <LaserJock> it's mostly just big icons
[21:43] <LaserJock> the top bar may be interesting, but I bet most of the "look" is due to having a low-res screen
[21:43] <han`> i'm thinking that i could get "Sugar" running on a linux install, which is the OLPC environment
[21:44] <LaserJock> han`: I believe we have an emulator
[21:44] <LaserJock> hmm, or maybe it's just in a PPA
[21:45]  * pygi thinks there are sugar packages
[21:45] <pygi> han`, Sugar *is* build on top of fedora-like linux
[21:46] <han`> reading sugar on ubuntu linux from the olpc wiki
[21:47] <LaserJock> ah, here we go: https://launchpad.net/~jani/+archive
[21:47] <han`> yep i'm addingithat to my sources
[21:54] <han`> heh, well i'll see how this goes, running emulated sugar inside a virtualized edubuntu on a mac lol
[21:54] <LaserJock> heh
[21:54] <LaserJock> vmware fusion?
[21:55] <han`> yeah
[21:55] <han`> trying it out
[21:55] <han`> so the emulator just seems to start up x...
