| Foresight Kid's Edition is a useful system for children of all ages. From an 
| educational tool to an everyday desktop, Foresight Kid's seems to be quite 
| flexible despite its emphasis on young ones. It would be particularly handy 
| for setting up a system for children using an older computer you were 
| thinking of throwing out, or a replacement for other systems that are prone 
| to dangerous malware.
