  3. Overview of QIMO For Kids • Qimo 4 Kids (pronounced "kim-oh", as in "eskimo")is a child-friendly desktop environment built entirely with free software. Qimo comes pre-installed with educational games for kidsTuxPaint, eToys, GCompris, Tuxmath, and Tuxtyping. • Large colorful icons help young users navigate easily. It is "designed for early elementary school aged children. Qimo is based on Xubuntu, using Xfce and is designed to be visually appealing for kids."The fact that Qimo is based on Xubuntu, helps provide low hardware requirements: minimum of 256MB of memory to run from the CD, or 192MB to install. At least 6 GB of hard drive space and a 400 MHz or faster CPU is needed.

  4. Review (Continued) When I saw the headline pop up on my reader, I was excited, my 5 year old LOVES Qimo, she's been using it for a year, and couldn't be happier. The dock setup was the perfect gateway to the menu, which she now uses. I also have Kidzui set up on her firefox, and she independantly plays on “Her” computer, an old P4 laptop that I got 2nd hand. I am forever a Qimo fan, and recommend it to everyone with a child to start out with a fun, intro operating system. It made my daughter feel like it was for Her, it was different than dad's, with all the cool games. I know, it's just a simple gui on xubuntu, but when she tells people about it, and how she loves Qimo, it becomes more. http://maketecheasier.com/review-of-qimo-linux-for-kids/2010/08/26

  5. Advantages of QIMO • Qimo was designed to be a standalone home computer for kids • Edubuntu was designed for networked classroom computer use • Qimo will run from a LiveCD • From October 2008 to October 2009, Edubuntu required an existing Ubuntu installation. Edubuntu is available in a live medium, but only on a DVD, as its contents will not fit on a CD anymore. • Qimo and Edubuntu are working to bring the Qimo games and artwork as an installable option within Edubuntu

  6. Disadvantages of QIMO • Lacks compatibility for advance application • May work not work with proprietary applications e.g. Microsoft
