Linux for Education

There are two additional things I want the Linux distribution to achieve.

One is excellence in games.

The other is excellence in education.

To achieve the first one needs lot of dedication.

I have delayed concentrating on the games for the time being with the exception of children's games with educational value.

But being involved in education it is my duty to concentrate on education first especially science.

There is a plethora of educational packages in Linux.

What is lacking is placing them in an organized manner with some specialization into categories.

But I prefer them to be categorized them into

1. Introductory

2. Intermediate

3. Advanced

4. Based on careers, Engineering, Medicine, Statistics, Physics and Chemistry, 3D Imaging (Blender) etc.

5. For sheer fun (not one's own career)

For children there are many ADIOS, QUIMO, KNOPPIX for KIDS, OLPS, Debian Edu, Ubuntu Edu etc.

Then again, these should be categorized according to the age levels of children and in increasing level of difficulty.

This is where games with educational value will shine.

I hope Linux guys with educational background would look into this area in a more concerted and organized manner.
