im looking for a few educational games for a 4 year old. He has a basic understanding of how to use the mouse and touchpad (launches programs on the desktop/start menu)

so, im thinking games will help him develop even more interest in computers. Never hurts to start early.

Ookami, open Synaptic, and look at the games app branch. Expand the "more games" link and you'll see a tremendous list of games... Many of them are meant for kids - just read the descriptions! There are so many of them! :)

Grand Theft Auto 3 should work fairly well under Wine. :D

On a more serious note, I always liked Tetris as a kid.
