Maybe a better option would be to make a hobo on linux VM?  Everything
preinstalled and setup so that someone can just jump into coding.

Downside is maintaining it.
Upside is it gets would-be developers familiar (somewhat) with using
it on linux (which, most likely, will be where they end up deploying
their completed app).

Thoughts?
