I.1. Snøfrix id="snofrix"

This is a version of Knoppix; see Section I.2, made by Conrad Newton, conrad.newton@broadpark.no.

This CD can be downloaded from ftp.skolelinux.no/skolelinux/knoppixes/snofrix.

Previously the CD was called "NordisKids"

This is what Conrad Newton himself has to say about Snøfrix:

For those of you familiar with other Linux/Knoppix based CDs,
it can perhaps best be summarized by saying that NordisKids
lives at the intersection point of Morphix Gamer, Freeduc,
and the OpenCD.

In plain language, this means that the CD contains lots of games,
lots of educational software, as well as Windows installers of
Norwegian OpenOffice.org 1.1 and Norwegian Mozilla 1.5.

The making of this CD is an unashamed attempt to win popularity for Linux!  
I call it "NordisKids", because like NordisKnoppix it will eventually
support all the languages of the Nordic region.  For the time being,
it only exists in Norwegian language, and only on this website.  
I hope to have versions ready for the other Nordic languages before
too long.  But before then, I need your feedback.

The focus group is children (hence the "Kids"), because they are usually 
less reluctant than adults to try something new.  My hope is that they 
will start by playing games (Question:  how did YOU get into computers?), 
and then discover that the CD contains other interesting/useful software.  
The CD is likely to be interesting to teachers as well.
