<br><br>Noah said that flash games won't play in linux... thus far I haven't had any problems with flash games. as far as 3d acceleration most of the native linux games that we can install (that are kid friendly) won't need 3d graphics.

well i have some hardware i have a couple p4 1.4-1.7 ghz processors. i have 2 amd systems that have the celoron equivialent from amd 1-2 ghz i believe ( takes ddr ram ) although you could install dansgaurding its best to install at the firewall box . wouldnt really need antivirus
<br>problem im seeing is this<br><span><span>1) the computer is powerful enough to play whatever the kids want to play
<br></span>activeX crap that wont play and possible shockwave games wont play in linux (most likely need hardware acceration for 3d too) <br>and we are back to all those windows only games and websites that hurt adoption of change and standards. theres Wine too
<br><br><br>this could become a good little experiment because others become aware of choices besides the default MS choice.<br></span>it all depends how nice we put it together.<br><br>Europe might be doing something interesting to microsoft. they want to force no bundling the windows OS with all computers sold there.
