=== PaulW2U_ is now known as PaulW2U [19:02] is this project still actively being developed? [19:54] moonhead: sadly enough not. see https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2016-March/039281.html [19:54] thanks robb_nl. i was getting that feeling, but could not find evidence. [19:54] technically it is supported untill april 2019... [19:55] when ubuntu 14.04 LTS runs out of support [19:55] I think you would be better off with skolelinux.... (or can't I say that in this channel?) [19:56] :) [19:56] what are you looking for moonhead ? [19:56] right on. thanks for the idea. seems like most kid friendly projects are dead in the water. [19:56] I know another school project that might be VERY interesting... [19:57] linuxschools.com a server based on Ubuntu LTS + an Ubuntu client that preconfigures all services that the server offers [19:57] nothing specific, but was hoping to find something with recent kernel and drivers. i have a chromebook that didn't seem to play nicely until 15.10. and, honestly, i just don't feel like doing a whole bunch of work to make this thing reasonably useful for a4 year old. [19:58] ah ok... just a client is what you need... :) [19:58] yeah [19:59] I remembered a distro called doudou linux... but that is not being maintained either... [19:59] right [20:00] neither is sugar or qimo or most anything else i can find [20:00] OpenSuSE has an EDU version of the client that is active [20:03] yeah, qimo has been retired :( [20:03] all the games are still in Ubuntu though [20:03] I should make a snap package of the wallpapers.... [20:05] yeah gcompris, childsplay and all the tux applications are great for kids... [20:08] thanks for the suggestions. i'll check into the opensuse edu option [20:08] btw, you mention sugar... you ever used an XO laptop? [20:09] no [20:10] I had one when my kids were very young. they absolutely didn't need any explanation, even when they never touched a pc before... [20:10] great OS.... [20:10] for kids.. ;) [20:11] on standard hardware you can use it through sugar on a stick [20:12] https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick [20:12] still actively developed!
