<div dir="ltr">Thanks for the links. Will try them too. She has windows and doesn't want to remove it. So I burned the cd of linux games mentioned in the previous mail. The problem was that for some reason it failed with xorg.conf. I got a prompt to enter username and then sudo rm .... After I inserted the username gamer i didn't got a prompt shell to run sudo rm. Even on a virtualbox i got the same problem. So, now it remains to use the iso for the virtualbox. <br>

<div><br></div><div>By the way, why not install the distro directly - not as a virtual machine? It will save some resources... </div><div><br></div><div>Good Luck!</div><div><br clear="all"><br>.:====================================================:.<br>

I have a friend which has a windows machine. She wants some games for her 4<br>
years old child. Since I don't know anything about games but being aware<br>
that her pc could become filled with viruses, adware, and other malware, I<br>
thought to put for her virtual machine and a linux distribution.<br>
<br>
I am thinking about<br>
1. distribution that is especially loaded with games for kids<br>
2. take any distro and install some games on the virtual machine.<br>
<br>
If someone has a recommendation for a distro that would be the easiest<br>
solution.<br>

It's possible that Ubuntu may have these as well, being a Debian derivative, but I've not checked and no longer have access to a Ubuntu system to check on.<br><font color="#888888">
