every little hacker needs...
« on: Sun, 25 September 2016, 10:03:27 »
saw this from my diaspora stream minutes ago.

https://medium.com/@vesche/every-little-hacker-needs-a-little-linux-computer-b030587fa7fc#.8cw6awygd

nice little article.
twas a delight throughout.
(i didnt even baulk at suggestion of arch, overlooking that (it has systemd these days) because of the amazement at the "5 year old").

and when i had got to the end... i saw the cutest starter keyboard!



what is it?  where can it be acquired?  what other alternative similarish (or not similar) keyboards can be had geared towards kids or the poorly dexterous?  and, isnt that cuuuuute?

The product link is in the article btw. Before clicking I wondered if the system was in the board itself :)

I think the keys are larger.
