Has anybody here installed Edubuntu, please and, if so, did you have any
problems? I tried this evening and everything went well until I came to
type in names and so forth. Instead of appearing in English everything I
had typed came in what looked like Arabic. Nothing in life runs
smoothly.

To continue the saga, I introduced my granddaughter to Edubuntu this
evening and, after assuring her that I would keep windows for her games
etc., she asked me there and then to do it. Her machine is fairly old
and somewhat slow so I expect to be in for a long session.

Well just buy a desktop from tescos then and use that, nows the time for her

You've already mentioned the two ways of getting the Windows games to
work on linux.
More help could be given if we knew what programs that would be needed
to be shoe-horned into Ubuntu.
If your thinking of a PC, why not something like the ASUS Eee with
Edubuntu installed? I can imagine one scena
Why not buy an asus laptop with linux on it and introduce her to linux
games, there are a number of education ones for linux also.
Or if you do want to still use linux/oss, why not look at reactos?
You didn't say how much your wanting to spend, you could get the ubuntu box
