Excellent point. I am going to make sure that tuxpaint is on there which is how this all started. Are there pre-school appropriate programs you suggest I look for specifically?<br><br>So it's a gamble if they work on WINE or not. Hmmm. <br>

If possible, I suggest cutting out the excess stuff that comes with Edubuntu. There is a lot of software that I doubt would be suitable for a pre-school (such as Dia or kalgebra). Talk to the administrative staff of the pre-school to determine exactly which applications they would want.<div>
<br></div><div>Also, be aware that WINE isn't perfect. Some educational games will likely be incompatible. I've had issues trying to install Math Blaster on an Ubuntu computer for my little sister. Although, that was a year or so ago. Maybe it'll be better now.<br>

My daughter's pre-school is asking me to build an educational machine for the kids. I was thinking of using edubuntu with WINE installed so they can add commercial educational games. Any suggestions or advice?<br>
