Pro Can remaster the boot DVD

LXDE version works well with older hardware.
Pro Concise "all in one" kid experience
From the pre installed apps to the interface everything about this distribution is dead simple. No necessary set up, just boot and go.
Pro Installable live cd
DouDouLinux comes as a live cd, meaning this distribution can be used on any computer not matter the OS in Live CD mode as well as installed fully onto the device depending on the hardware support.
Cons
Con Installation fails most of the time, error messages, and hard to go to full screen in virtual box
Con Uses RPM packaging system
Uses the RPM packaging system with APT, rather than the more popular DEB packages.
Con Based on an old distro
DouDou Linux is based on Debian 5, which is pretty old. So this means the software found in the distribution will be old. This also means the hardware support will be lacking compared to newer based distros. So for those that do want to install it would be a good idea to make sure the hardware is supported by Debian 5 and DouDou Linux.
