Potato Guy


Well I'm sat here trying to configure LAMP on my laptop when my 4 yr old Thai neice arrives on the scene, the one who doesn't speak a word of English, (and I speak about 6 words of Thai) and has been left in my capable hands while the rest of the family shoot off to the market, with the re-assurance that 'she'll sleep till the cows come home'. She didn't.

So what do I do ? I sit her at the desktop and start that 'Potato Guy' game that comes with Slackware 10.... and she loves it ! learns how to click and drag in about 3 mins....

So my question is, does anyone know of any other great games for kids and where can I download them ?

Start them young on Linux, I say.
