UKnow4Kids.
http://www.uknow4kids.org/
UKnow4Kids is an Arch-based live DVD with a collection of educational and gaming software for children 2 to 10-years old. The distribution is intended for broad usage by a non-technical audience (regular parents) and is essentially indestructible by children. It runs well on old Intel hardware, including Pentium II-based systems with as little as 256 MB RAM. UKnow4Kids provides a familiar user experience, requiring only minimal computer experience to run.

Florida State U. Pulls Out of Kuali Open-Source Software Project
Florida State had signed on in 2007 as a founding member of the venture, one of several higher-education software collaborations that fall under the umbrella of the nonprofit Kuali Foundation. It joined seven other institutions—including the University of California at Berkeley, the University of British Columbia, and the University of Maryland at College Park—committed to investing at least $1-million a year to develop software for managing student admission, registration and other tasks.
