Hello,

Today, I'm happy to present you the Debian package junior-system, which
is part of the misc section, and maintained by Debian Junior
<debian-jr at lists.debian.org>. 

This package contains : Debian Jr. System tools.

This package includes a few tools for helping children learn about and
use their system.

Midnight Commander is more than just a file manager.  It is shell with
which children can explore and manage their own accounts.  It can be a
great help for the very young, as it saves them some typing (as
compared with using a command-line shell directly).  It is also packed
with power and flexibility which can be tapped by older children and
adults alike.

The 'hello' sample program can be used as an instructional aid, as
an example of how to invoke programs from the shell, specify switches,
use the man page, and so on.

Finally, lavaps not only provides a very pleasing way to visualize
running processes and the resources they use, but can also make
discovering and killing errant processes an easy thing to do for
children who lack the ability yet to easily manage "ps" and "kill"
from the command line.
