Comment Debian JR (Score 4, Informative) 507
The Debian Jr. project has been around for quite a long time. Its aims are to package and maintain a collection of relevant applications for the younger generation within the Debian framework.
This is very much an active project which is working with some of the other organisations. I myself have experimented with some of the stuff it includes with my niece. As mentioned in the article tuxpaint seems to be very popular for the pre-school age group.
The growth of these "Custom Debian Distributions" (the contents of which can usually be used on a traditional Debian install) should help bring free software into lots more situations.
