Is there a linux distro that is centered around Scratch that I can PXE boot on my media center PC for my son to play with?

I'm interested in getting him into computing of sorts. I tried Doudoulinux, but it was mostly not good.

Instead of using your media center pc could you get him a Raspberry Pi? I bought my nephew an RPi so he could use Scratch and have a computer of his own. The only challenge I had was figuring out an easy way to introduce him to Minecraft Pi edition.

I have one for him. I just don't have anything to set it up with, yet. The HTPC is an easier test bed since it's already setup for PXE.

When you install NOOBS on the Raspberry Pi there is a "boot to Scratch" option. Maybe that's an option?

Thanks, I'll take a look at this. I hadn't heard of NOOBS before.
