Very good AND nice idea BTW. I just sold a tractor to a 35-40 year old 
dad who bought it for his also 14 year old son who wants to do potatoes. 
I really thought that I would never again see this sort of thing in my 
lifetime anymore, it was one of my happiest days in a while and not 
because I got my hands on money.

You would be amazed how fast youngsters can soak things up, I would at 
least also mention to him that just as you can build a box so you can 
also build the OS or OS'es that will run it, Linux. Maybe not right off 
the bat, but a seed will be planted (pun intended).
