Debian Junior Project
Summary
Kde
Debian Jr. for KDE

This package includes a collection of programs for children which are built for KDE. A KDE desktop is not required in order to run these. They are kept separate merely so that installing a Debian Jr. system won't drag in all kinds of KDE dependencies.

As such, this package is by no means a complete collection of programs suitable for children in KDE. The Debian Jr. project will be adding to this list in future releases, and likely refining the package into categories the way the rest of Debian Jr. packages are now organized.

The list to the right includes various software projects which are of some interest to the Debian Junior Project. Currently, only a few of them are available as Debian packages. It is our goal, however, to include all software in Debian Junior which can sensibly add to a high quality Debian Pure Blend.

For a better overview of the project's availability as a Debian package, each head row has a color code according to this scheme:

If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for Debian Junior to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to send a description of that project to the Debian Junior mailing list
