DoudouLinux is a Linux operating system specially designed for children to make computer use as easy and pleasant as possible for them (and for their parents too!). DoudouLinux provides tens of applications that suit children from 2 to 12 years and tries to give them an environment as easy to use as a gaming console. Kids can then learn and have fun but, without Dad and Mum watching!
But DoudouLinux also makes it easy for Dad and Mum. Available as an autorun CDROM, DoudouLinux does not need installing. It does not touch the data in the computer it runs on, nor the system installed on the computer. Shipped with built-in content filtering, it prevents children from accidentally visiting unsavory web sites. You can carry it everywhere and let children on any computer without worrying. DoudouLinux can be lent, offered, loaned, copied as often as you want. Just like they do on the school playground! This is fully legal, so DoudouLinux is really risk free from all points of view.
DoudouLinux also aims at making computers accessible to all children on earth, with no discrimination. For this reason the DoudouLinux.org web site lets you download full and free versions and will always do so. Moreover, DoudouLinux is available in several languages so that each child will feel comfortable when he begins reading. We currently support the following 8 languages: Arabic, English, French, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Serbian and Ukrainian. Additionally, as an appetizer, we are proposing Dutch, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Turkish and Vietnamese. Up to 63 languages can be generated, but translation quality is, unfortunately, not homogeneous between languages….
