DoudouLinux - Діти люблять такий комп'ютер!

DoudouLinux [1] is a system designed for children to make computer use as easy and pleasant as possible for them (and why not their parents too! [2]). DoudouLinux provides tens of applications that suit children as soon as 2 years old and tries to give them an environment as easy to use as a gaming console. They can then learn and have fun but… without Dad and Mum watching!

But DoudouLinux is also easy for Dad and Mum. Available as an autorun CDROM, DoudouLinux does not need installing and does not touch neither data in the computer it runs onto, nor the system which is already installed on it. Shipped with built-in content filtering, he also prevents children from accidentally visiting rather unsavory web sites [3]. So you can carry it everywhere and let children on any computer without worrying. DoudouLinux can even be lent, offered, copied as you want and how you want, just as they do in the school playground! This is fully legal so that DoudouLinux is really risk free whatever the point of view.

Finally DoudouLinux also aims at making computers accessible to all children on earth, without any discrimination. For this reason DoudouLinux.org web site lets you download full and free versions and will always do. Moreover DoudouLinux is available in several languages so that each child would feel comfortable when he begins reading. We currently support the 8 following languages: Arabic, English, French, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Serbian and Ukrainian. Additionally we propose as an appetizer Dutch, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Turkish and Vietnamese. Up to 63 languages can be generated [4] but translation quality is unfortunately not homogeneous between languages…
