[ale] Educational Software for a Library

I am googling this, but wanted to toss it out to the list to see if I 
could get any personal experiences on the topic.  My Dad works in the IT 
Dept for his local Library, and has been instructed to look into using 
Linux for some of their 'floor machines'.  These machines are going to 
(initially) be used for children's use, specifically educational games 
and filtered Internet.  My Dad is a staunch Windows user (well, 
Microsoft, user, we got started around the MS DOS 2.x days), but is 
going to 'give this Linux thing a shot', so he's asked me for some 
suggestions on educational games for Linux.  The machines that they will 
be using are in the 333MHz -> 650MHz range, so nothing fancy would be a 
good idea.  I've suggested FC1 with Afterstep (I've tinkered around with 
a few other distro's, but I always seem to go back to Red Hat / Fedora, 
and Afterstep is a nice looking, small, and quick Window Manager that 
I'm pretty familiar with).
