Ask Slashdot: What OS For a Donated Computer? 360
chefwear writes "I am thinking of donating retired computers to a local charity for kids. What OS do you think would be best for this? From reading tips regarding the donation of computers, it's widely recommended to keep with the currently installed OS (which is Windows XP in this case). Since XP will be unsupported in about two years, I'm not sure I would be setting the little ones up for success. Would anyone suggest donating a computer with a Linux distro like Ubuntu to a local charity for kids?"

Kids want puzzles. Give them an OS as a puzzle.
Apple iOS (Score:3, Funny)
And with the vast number of apps available for any possible purpose, whether for business, education or pleasure, there really is no better platform for choice.
So, all in all, it has to be Apple iOS for freedom, choice and thinking of the children who are our future.
