Where do Linux gurus come from? From baby newbies. How do baby newbies become gurus? One good way is with the help of the best child- and beginner-oriented distribution, DoudouLinux. Linux gurus do not emerge fully-formed from special factories, though one could easily form this impression from employers who expect the impossible, and Linux/FOSS project leaders who don't understand that it takes more than Holy Rock Star Coders to create and support great software.

You can install DoudouLinux to a hard drive if you really want to. **It has no partitioner and will take over a whole hard drive,**

So, instead of installing Doudou for my 5 year old on a spare partition ( sda8 ), they want me to wipe out all other partitions so that Doudou can use/have my 1 terrabyte hard disk for an installation worth 2 or 3 Gb.

This sounds like a job for VirtualBox!
@nikkels: Also, imagine telling your young child you're putting doo doo on their computer. Clearly the makers of this distro either don't know or don't care how their name might play with children in North America.
@caitlyn: "Clearly the makers of this distro either don't know or don't care..."

Care to explain exactly why they should?

Personally, I find it quite amusing given the obsession with poop that young kids often have.

@nikkels: I see what you did there: "doudou" and "wipe" in the same sentence, Eww :D

Well ya know folks, with Windows likely already on the hard drive, perhaps the metaphor isn't all that inaccurate.
One kid's Linux is another kid's doudou.
