[19:02] <moonhead> is this project still actively being developed?
[19:54] <robb_nl> moonhead: sadly enough not. see https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2016-March/039281.html
[19:54] <moonhead> thanks robb_nl.  i was getting that feeling, but could not find evidence.
[19:54] <robb_nl> technically it is supported untill april 2019...
[19:55] <robb_nl> when ubuntu 14.04 LTS runs out of support
[19:55] <robb_nl> I think you would be better off with skolelinux.... (or can't I say that in this channel?)
[19:56] <moonhead> :)
[19:56] <robb_nl> what are you looking for moonhead ?
[19:56] <moonhead> right on.  thanks for the idea.  seems like most kid friendly projects are dead in the water.
[19:56] <robb_nl> I know another school project that might be VERY interesting...
[19:57] <robb_nl> linuxschools.com a server based on Ubuntu LTS + an Ubuntu client that preconfigures all services that the server offers
[19:57] <moonhead> 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] <robb_nl> ah ok... just a client is what you need... :)
[19:58] <moonhead> yeah
[19:59] <robb_nl> I remembered a distro called doudou linux... but that is not being maintained either...
[19:59] <moonhead> right
[20:00] <moonhead> neither is sugar or qimo or most anything else i can find
[20:00] <robb_nl> OpenSuSE has an EDU version of the client that is active
[20:03] <mhall119> yeah, qimo has been retired :(
[20:03] <mhall119> all the games are still in Ubuntu though
[20:03] <mhall119> I should make a snap package of the wallpapers....
[20:05] <robb_nl> yeah gcompris, childsplay and all the tux applications are great for kids...
[20:08] <moonhead> thanks for the suggestions.  i'll check into the opensuse edu option
[20:08] <robb_nl> btw, you mention sugar... you ever used an XO laptop?
[20:09] <moonhead> no
[20:10] <robb_nl> 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] <robb_nl> great OS....
[20:10] <robb_nl> for kids.. ;)
[20:11] <robb_nl> on standard hardware you can use it through sugar on a stick
[20:12] <robb_nl> https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick
[20:12] <robb_nl> still actively developed!
