Re: What I need for my kids
Thanks, Ben, for clarification.
My older son is 2 now and can turn any common desktop environment or
image viewer into unusable state within a minute. I guess it will take
about a year before he will be able to start using the computer in a
less destructive way. Still, at the later age when a child starts
playing with things like menus and panels, it is necessary to prevent a
complete disaster (e.g. by making some files read-only). Installing a
kid-proof environment is a difficult task and continuous fixing it is
complete waste of time. Computers should work for us and not the other
way round :-). So I think Debian Jr. should definitely provide means to
save that redundant work.
As for Freevo, I agree it might be of wider interest, so I'll ask about
it on debian-devel. I might take the effort to put it in Debian, but I
wouldn't like to do it unless there's some clear interest in it and
possible help.
