Today I saw this article on Lifehacker<http://lifehacker.com/5974087/i-raised-my-kids-on-the-command-lineand-they-love-it>, 
written by John Goerzen.  I was surprised to see that he is a local.  The 
article inspired me to try something with my 2 and 3 year olds.  I have 
tried helping them use a Windows system with a mouse, but they just can't 
get the hang of it.  They always want to type, so I'm thinking a Linux 
install without a GUI might be worth trying. I have a couple old laptops 
that I think can be repurposed for the kids.

Anyone have any suggestions as to what to try with them?
