Linux Is for Kids

| My brother doesn’t know that I’m installing OpenSuSE 10.3 on his daughters’ 
| PC. I honestly don’t think he will mind once he sees all of the cool 
| applications and games on it. Hell, he’ll probably want to use it himself. 
| I’ll tell the girls not to let him use it, because it’s the kids’ computer, 
| not for adults.

| The Beauty of it lies where there are no preconceptions or judgement 
| passed on Ubuntu. she just uses it. there is no comparing... or 
| complaining about not having support. She is only 5 and she can 
| use linux... in fact my wife has failed to find an alternative on
| other operating systems that can attract my daughter.

I've just met Santa Claus.

| His name is Ken Starks and many only know him as "helios". Ken has a popular 
| blog and a cause he has given much for. As a Linux advocate, Ken has not only 
| spread the word across the nation and the world about Linux, he has taken on 
| the task of giving poor kids computers. He calls it by the corny name of 
| Komputers4Kids but it doesn't matter how corny the name sounds, it is what he 
| does that makes the difference. Ken has made a difference in the lives of 
| over a hundred kids in the past year.
