An 11 year old persons thoughts on Linux

I was chatting to a young person using GAIM tonight. I helped them set up a hotmail account on their Linux computer so they could chat to their MSN messenger friends. I also helped them out with a few other bits and pieces.

We discovered that one of the 'must go to' sites was flash 8 so it didn't work under Linux. It gives the frustrating option to install a Linux flash player ... as it is only version 7 it doesn't work! Bah.

They commented that Linux looked different but was the same to use as the computers at school (mix of windows/mac). The internet was no different bar the hiccups with Flash 8.

And...their favourite game was SuperTux. :)
