Have the system start GDM by default.
Set "Browser=1" in your gdm.conf file.
Scan a photo of your Godson into the system, and place it in
/usr/share/faces/ with the name being his login name.
Use a null password.
Now all he has to do is double-click his picture.

Heh heh. I've noticed that too. A friend of mine, who works for a
networking company, was interested in using Linux to run traffic through
equipment for testing. So we had this Dell Optiplex system stuffed full of
network cards at his house, with Red Hat installed on it. His kids were
curious, so we created some login accounts for them.
They liked it better than their MS-Windows PC. It ran smoother, didn't
crash as often, and had better games. And, like you said, they got to put
their names in. They were pissed when he took it back to work and they had to
use MS-Windows again.
