Ask HN: Techies' recommendations for children's school laptops
2 by b800h | 0 comments on Hacker News.
My sons need laptops for school homework. I would like to choose something which isn't necessarily tied down to a vendor like Google, but which I can secure to a sensible degree. What solutions have all of you hit upon? Is there a kids' Linux distro which is lightweight and does the trick? What's best to run it on? Many thanks!
