Enjoy!

If you are looking for an educational Linux distribution, you have at least three choices:

KinderTux is especially interesting, because it isn’t aimed at pupils or teachers but at younger children to help them enjoying computers. The only alternative to KinderTux I could find was Quimo, which uses Ubuntu as base system.

I got bitten by this ugly bug (Bug 555027 – autologin failure …) and could no longer login to my lovely Gnome. With the help of the fine lads at #opensuse-gnome on Freenode and in the forum, I was able to find a patch here.

Now everything seems working again.
