EduPup is a lightweight GNU/Linux software that is designed specifically for children and their educators/parents.
EduPup 2.00 provides a range of high-quality free programs, including TuxType2 which is a valuable typing tutor that teaches fast keyboard skills for all ten fingers. This software features captivating videogames that include letters and words (short, medium, and long) falling from the sky, which have to be typed by the child before they land. TuxType2 makes learning fun by firing phasers to destroy the falling letters or moving to eat them with a fish shape.
Another impressive program included in this distribution is TuxMath, which helps children develop fast mental arithmetic skills using a videogame that is similar to TuxType. The game requires the user to defend their cities by entering the correct answer to zap the falling sums before they land.
ChildsPlay is a perfect software suite for ages 2 to 12, with didactic games, colour associations, logical, and graphical games. It also includes simple games that will teach young children how to use the keyboard and mouse. Additionally, TuxPuck is a little videogame that simulates a hockey table game, while TuxPaint is a fun drawing program that has an excellent stamp collection, patterns, and sounds.
EduPup 2.00 distribution performs with the same speed, flexibility, and powerful features of the PuppyLinux distro that it is based on. The user can easily add new packages from numerous existing packages by downloading them via Puppy Package Manager, Puppy Software Installer, or GSlapt Package Manager.
Overall, EduPup 2.00 is an extremely impressive educational tool that is ideal for parents, teachers, and children. It combines fun with education, and the intuitive and engaging interface makes it easy for children to learn new skills while having a great time.
