[aclug-L] Re: FW: Defeat the Windows Monopoly, Teach Your Kids Linux

[John Reinke <jmreinke@xxxxxxxxx>]

I whole-heartedly agree:  expose children to Linux as early as 
possible. That way, they will instantly notice the limitations of 
Windows the first time they see it.

My daughter Emma (now nine months) has been working at the Linux 
command line since she was five months old. (I captured and saved 
those first few terminal sessions for posterity.) She's not at all 
afraid of the command line, and prefers the bash shell.

Further, the high contrast coloring of stuffed penguins make 
excellent toys for newborns and adults alike. My daughter loves 
playing with my penguin collection, and only takes her eyes off of 
them when she notices the keyboard is within reach.

Choose your mascots wisely. Would you prefer to let your children 
play with that annoying perky paperclip, or a cute, cuddly penguin?
