[K12OSN] Free computers for kids

[Petre Scheie]

You might check out Damn Small Linux (www.damnsmalllinux.org).  It's like 
knoppix but only about 50MB on the disk (designed to fit on a business-card size 
CD).  I've run it on a P133 with 32MB RAM and it was quite snappy.  The website 
mentions it can be installed on the hard drive, although I haven't tried it. 
Seems to be an active site.
