linux games for kids

[Amichai Rotman]

Try this:

http://www.qimo4kids.com/default.aspx

and this:

http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8288

And the most relevant:

http://whatsup.org.il/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=6253

By the way, why not install the distro directly - not as a virtual machine?
It will save some resources...

Good Luck!
