Abstract

Translate

Loftus describes the process for creating a Linux-based GCompris children's game machine that is suitable for offline use in a public or school library setting. This machine may be built using micro PC kits that are very reasonably priced; with a bit of careful shopping, it may be built at a component cost of less than $700. He targeted those who have some prior experience using the Linux terminal or Windows command line, as well as assembling or swapping out components on desktop PCs and laptops.
