Kiddix Platform 有着与 Ubuntu 类似的口号：“Linux for Kids”。它是一套基于 Linux 且专门为儿童所设计的操作系统，其中包含网络浏览器、文字处理器、E-mail、绘画等方面的应用程序，同时也有适合儿童玩的益智游戏，此外还包括家长控制软件。

Kiddix Platform 的桌面看起来对小孩很有爱。另外，它也有相配的 Kiddix PC 硬件可以选择。

Kiddix Platform 需通过购买或捐赠获得，详细信息可参见下面的说明。

Dear Friends, Child advocates, and Free / Open Source Software enthusiasts,

Four years ago I founded Kiddix Computing, a company dedicated to building safe and friendly computing environments for children.  This mission has been embodied in our core product Kiddix, a family-friendly operating system and software stack for children.  Since our 1.0 release of Kiddix three years ago we have gained users from all over the world, but have been developing inside a closed environment.  This will now be changing…

Starting today we are fully open sourcing our Kiddix software stack, and will be building new improvements with guidance and support from you, the community!

I firmly believe that our goal of providing children with a safe haven for computing, and putting parents in control of that experience, is of the utmost importance.  This is an area that has received too little attention from major software vendors, who continue to market one-size-fits-all solutions.  This is where Kiddix can make a difference, and you can make a difference.

Through June 15th, you can help support our initiative by purchasing or donating a copy of our latest Kiddix release, (a $50 value!), for any price you think is fair, or can afford.  Individuals who support us with a purchase of $20 or more will be given a coupon code to download our future Kiddix 2.0 release at a deep discount.  Proceeds generated will help support our continued development efforts.

In addition, for every $10,000 we raise, we will donate two Intel Convertible Classmate PC’s bundled with Kiddix to one of several selected children’s organizations!

We have many exciting things planned, and would like to make you a part of it, every step of the way!

Sincerely,
Mike Gualtieri
Founder & CEO – Kiddix Computing, Inc.
