I've also been told small children enjoy using Matchbox on desktop machines, due to the way it simplifies the desktop and integrates well with recent versions of GNOME and KDE. [LinuxDevices.com : Matchbox -- a Small Footprint Window Manager for Embedded Devices]
When I first heard about Matchbox I wonder how it would fair as a simplified desktop interface for both novice users or "outdated" equipment like my laptop. This quote from the article written by its creator Matthew Allum seems to ellude to this same thinking. A very interesting prospect indeed. Has anyone tried this and wants to share their experiences?
