My 6yo has grown up with free software and is doing just fine. He prefers a
Gnome desktop to Sugar but I sometimes switch to Fluxbox just to slow him
down a bit. ;)
We use Proconn Latte for parental controls.
He installed Trisquel for the first time when he was 4, which was a blatant
publicity stunt on my part, but it was quickly dismissed as "Oh wow! A
(naturally birthed/breastfed/unconventional parenting choice of your choice)
supergenius just like on TV! You must be a very good teacher who charges a
lot of money!"
Kids have no trouble with free software when it is available. Thank you for
doing what you could to make a difference in the lives of those students,
grimlok.
