Trying to catch up on MangoLassi. Feels like a job keeping up these posts.

Liesl just completed her first section in Code Academy. She loves programming thus far.

We've been considering getting our kids Kano kits. But its the whole raspberry pi platform that I have a problem with.

Other than being a gimmick, what is the issue with Raspberry Pi?

RP is the Commodore 64 of our era.

I feel like this week is an epic barrage of bad questions. What is going on?

Then I might as well put SugarOS on a Fedora VM or something for them.

Well, you keep reading shit in SW, against everyone's best advice. Unplug for a bit.... have a drink, smoke a joint, take a walk, etc. Leave the sinking ship to the drowning rats.

But it is so much worse than normal.

I don't understand the relationship. RP is hardware, SugarOS is software. What's the connection.

All the more reason to jump ship. Not sure why this is a complicated thing for you.

Its not so much RPi/SugarOS. Its properly getting my kids introduced into computers without Windows entrapment. I would like for them to be properly introduced to the different linux distros and possibly into programming.

What's wrong with the Raspberry Pi for that? I mean the reason you learn RP is to also break them of the PC entrapments, just like using Linux breaks them from Windows. If the goal is to learn Linux and programming, then stick to PC because it's just easy. But if the goal is to break assumptions and entrapments, then the RP is pretty ideal.

How would you introduce your girls for the best outcome in adulthood? Not attacking. Looking for advice.

How old are our kids? Something like SoaS?

Depends what you are trying to teach. I'm teaching programming, so just using a Chromebook with Python and Code Academy right now. But if you want to teach about hardware components, that's where the Kano comes in. It exists to teach about hardware components. So the point of a kali is very different from the point of Linux.

Been working on SAMIT videos tonight. Discovered three or four that had never been processed and uploaded, whoops. And got a few done today. Have eighty total in the channel now, at least ten to fifteen in the process of being processed.
