Switching your kids to Linux

kitterman.org — They all seem to like KDE4 in Intrepid. If you haven't tried KDE4, you really ought to give it a shot even if you're a true Gnome fan. I suspect you may be pleasantly surprised.

  • Spr0k3t, on 11/03/2008, -2/+3Here's a tip... remove any network connectivity from the windows side unless the connectivity is for updates. Give the kids a "Power_User" account and disable the ability to add/remove hardware. Also, on the windows side, require the use of the "game discs" if they want to play a game and use the no_cd installers on the Linux side.

    Regarding the configuration notes, leave the ODF files as is. The latest versions of MS Office are able to handle the Open Document Format.

    The article isn't about KDE vs Gnome. However, all three of my kids preferred gnome over kde.
