My kids have never seen windows. They play gcompris all the time on my machine at home. And my 3 year old is really really good at messing up my config of kde (not that I spent a lot of time configuring it). My five year old is indifferent, but she has not used anything but linux her whole life. -- Michael GnuPG Fingerprint: 4C56 7C23 8BD9 8B39 C4D4 B8F3 42FB 3634 31B5 E963
