	I'm not too impressed with this distribution. It's essentially a customized XFCE setup<ref name="Review"></ref>, meaning they didn't innovate that much. Yes, it came preinstalled with a bunch of educational games for kids, but they're easy to install for any distribution. I wasn't that impressed by the 7 large icons at the bottom of screen, as you aren't able to add any new icons to it. It would be nice if all the icons on the desktop were large, not just those 7 (since the desktop is a regular Ubuntu desktop). I liked how all the menu items were small, since those are too complicated for children to use. The small size will prevent them from accidentally changing system settings. These options aren't blocked from the child. It would be nice if there were some sort of parental controls, where things were hidden unless a password was entered. I did like how essentially every preinstalled children's game/program runs in full screen mode. This keeps the child playing and not accidentally clicking outside the game. I also liked how it's not initially obvious how to open an internet browser, as the internet isn't safe place for young children.		I'm not too impressed with this distribution.

Regular programs aren't limited in any way to appear more kid friendly, they are the same as on any other distribution.

	Overall it does seem to be very child friendly, however the distribution isn't very innovative. They could have gone the extra mile and added new features, as opposed to simply changing the look of things and hand picking premade programs.<ref name="Review"></ref>		Overall it does seem to be very child friendly, however the distribution isn't very innovative.
