We now have SuSE 9 Pro loaded on all four computers.
Yes, two of them also have Win98, but the children
prefer Linux!

The games do require some selectivity as some contain
images or themes to which we prefer our children not be
exposed.

They also have some learning games that are M$-based
and we have chosen not to invest the time to experiment
with Wine, etc. yet to discover if they will run
indrectly under Linux.

It is nice that they are becoming comfortable with both
Linux and M$ as they will likely intersect with both
as they grow.  Now I wonder if we should require one
basic Apple box as well ... hmmm.
