DoudouLinux is a discontinued Linux distribution based on Debian[6] intended for children as young as 2 years old.[4] DoudouLinux is named after the French word doudou which refers to a wubby, which is a comfort object such as a small blanket or a teddy bear.[7]
DoudouLinux has not received an update since 2013, and its website has not received an update since a 2015 blog post.[8]
Versions 1.x are referred to as Gondwana, and versions 2.x are referred to as Hyperborea.[7]
DoudouLinux uses a heavily modified version of the LXDE as its desktop environment, which is intended to be as simple for children to use as possible.[9][4]
DoudouLinux comes with software including the GCompris suite, which includes educational software and games. It also includes another package of children's games called Child's Play, as well as several educational KDE Applications.[9]
DoudouLinux's web browser Ephiphany[10] comes installed with a web filtering tool called DansGuardian and uses DuckDuckGo by default[9]
Version 2.1 has software used to monitor computer use.[3]
According to DoudouLinux's documentation, the minimum recommended configuration has three requirements: 256 MB memory, an 800 MHz processor, and an 800×600 dots display.[11][9]
Reviews by PCMag[9] WebUpd8.org[12] focused on the simplicity of the software interface and its ease of use for children.
Reviews by ILoveFreeSoftware.com[10] and MakeTechEasier.com[13] focused on the educational games provided by DoudouLinux.
A review by Unixmen.com focused on the updates of the 2.0 release which included a UI overhaul and security updates,[6]
A Spanish review by Mundiario.com[14] focused on the installation process of DoudouLinux, while an Italian review by Altreconomia.it[15] reviewed the distro's focus on children as well as the background of an Italian company that makes use of DoudouLinux on computers.

Knoppix, stylized KNOPPIX ( KNOP-iks), is an operating system based on Debian designed to be run directly from a CD or DVD (Live CD) or a USB flash drive (Live USB). It was first released in 2000 by German Linux consultant Klaus Knopper, and was one of the first popular live distributions. Knoppix is loaded from the removable medium and decompressed into a RAM drive. The decompression is transparent and on-the-fly. There are two main editions, available in both English and German: the traditional compact-disc (700 megabytes) edition and the DVD (4.7 gigabytes) "Maxi" edition. Knoppix mostly consists of free and open source software, but also includes some proprietary software, as long as it fulfills certain conditions. Knoppix can be used to copy files easily from hard drives with inaccessible operating systems. To quickly and more safely use Linux software, the Live CD can be used instead of installing another OS.
Kanotix, also referred to as KANOTIX, is an operating system based on Debian, with advanced hardware detection. It can run from an optical disc drive or other media i.e. USB-stick without using a hard disk drive. Kanotix uses KDE Software Compilation as the default desktop environment. Since 2013 the newer releases ship with LXDE as a second lightweight desktop environment. Unlike other similar Linux-distributions Kanotix is a rolling release. Nightly builds are automated builds every night of the latest development code of KANOTIX and with the latest packages from the repositories. The name "Kanotix" is derived from the founder's nickname "Kano". Kanotix's mascot is a fangtooth.
Parental controls are features which may be included in digital television services, computers and video games, mobile devices and software to enable parents to restrict certain content viewable by their children. This may be content they deem inappropriate for their age, maturity level or feel is aimed more at an adult audience. Parental controls fall into roughly four categories: content filters, which limit access to age inappropriate content; usage controls, which constrain the usage of these devices such as placing time-limits on usage or forbidding certain types of usage; computer usage management tools, which enforces the use of certain software; and monitoring, which can track location and activity when using the devices. Content filters were the first popular type of parental controls to limit access to Internet content. Television stations also began to introduce V-Chip technology to limit access to television content. Modern usage controls are able to restrict a range of explicit content such as explicit songs and movies. They are also able to turn devices off during specific times of the day, limiting the volume output of devices, and with GPS technology becoming affordable, it is now possible to easily locate devices such as mobile phones. UNICEF emphases the responsibility of parents and teachers in this role. The demand for parental control methods that restrict content has increased over the decades due to the rising availability of the Internet. A 2014 ICM survey showed that almost a quarter of people under the age of 12 had been exposed to online pornography. Restricting especially helps in cases when children are exposed to inappropriate content by accident. Monitoring may be effective for lessening acts of cyberbullying within the internet. It is unclear whether parental controls will affect online harassment in children, as little is known about the role the family plays in protecting children from undesirable experiences online. Psychologically, cyberbullying could be more harmful to the victim than traditional bullying. Studies done in the past have shown that about 75% of adolescents were subjected to cyberbullying. A lack of parental controls in the household could enable kids to be a part of cyberbullying or be the victim of cyberbullying.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
