wtburnette said:I fail to understand this Linux craze for a kid's computer. While I think it's great to have him learning something that could possibly help him get a nice IT job later in life, it's totally not necessary unless you're going to dual boot the system. My advice is to see what the school he goes to uses and go with that. If they have PC's with WinXP, then load that. If they have Macs, then get him a Mac with the same version OS. That way he becomes used to the computer the way he'll be using it at school, which will be a definite plus. Like I said, if you really want him to learn Linux, dual boot it and he can become computer literate in more then one OS. If he's going to have his own system, he should at least be using whatever OS will help him be the most literate at what he'll actually use...
The idea is not to make him learn any. Just to keep him spyware and virus freewtburnette said:I fail to understand this Linux craze for a kid's computer.

ValeX said:. I think independence is ultimately more beneficial to a teenager than strapping them down in a seat, telling them EXACTLY what to do, all the time, and never letting them think things through for themselves. I know kids like that, once they leave home it's gonna be rough.

Zip disk that I kept under my bedCompuGeek said:How did you do it? I got caught this one time when I was 12, so I got smart and started putting all of my pr0n into a folder named 1021 in my windows 32 folder.

Yeah. I had a computer in my own room since I was six, and look how I turned out!Danny Bui said:I think you should not allow an 11 year old with a computer in his own room. Just asking for trouble right there.

Just keeping the PC in public view is good enough to limit his internet access.
