I have a five year old daughter and have started to teach her computers at home. I am starting off with Knoppix. She loves the Potato Guy Game. I want to teach her about word processors and spreadsheets rather than Word and Excel.
can anyone suggest any good packages for the agegroup around 5-7 years? I am planning to start weekly sessions for my nephews also now.

HA HA. My mother-in-law all of 64yrs and who never used a pc before. Uses Debian GNU/Linux for the past 3 yrs. As does my 11 yr old nephew - been using linux since he was 4 yrs. We never taught him to use a pc. He learnt probably by observation. He and his friends used windows for games too. What was their preference - 80:20 for linux. What were the reasons - The games were good and "madech bandh hoth nahin" and "phata phat chalta hai"
That's for the dolts who confuse installation and configuration with usage.
