I can proudly say that my nephew, in yr 12, got into Linux in yr10 after seeing my set up at home. Nowadays he leaves me for dead, but he still needs some help when it to interfacing some neat robots he is working on. With all of his firends, it has really taken off, mainly because of the networked games.
