Tux Goes to Elementary School

Kiddix was mentioned in Wired. Here is a clip from the article.

It's common knowledge that getting kids excited about computers and technology is the best way to get them excited about learning.

Kiddix Computing has come up with a Linux-based operating system designed especially for children aged 5-10. All of the icons for applications are situated around the edge of the desktop. There's e-mail, a browser, an office suite, a paint program and some games (both educational and just plain fun). All are built with open-source code, and everything has a user interface designed for kids. You can test it out with a Flash demo at Kiddix's site.
