Ten reasons Linux is the best choice for kids

written by Jack Wallen for TechRepublic

"The problem with working in IT is that when we go home, our job often continues. Sometimes, keeping our children's computers running can be a bigger challenge than sorting out the adults at work.

But if you install Linux at home, you can avoid the headaches. That's because sound reasons exist for migrating young users from other operating systems."

He gives the following reasons...

1. Viruses and malware
2. Security
3. Cost effectiveness
4. Age-specific tools
5. Netbooks
6. Agile learners

I know that my two (8 & 5) are loving their uBuntu Netbooks.
