> 1.  Open Source Philosophy

This is a good one. Also, be sure to include what Free Software is compared to "Open 
Source Philosophy". What is Free as in Freedom Software vs. Free as in beer software? 
Check GNU.org and some of the stuff RMS has written.

Yea, teens love free stuff. Also explain why it would be less to a commercial 
equivalent for maintenance costs, and how much software with the source is worth.

Certainly interesting for teens. If they can get their favorite games to work under 
Linux in a lab, that'd probably impress a lot of students.

> 4.  Superiority in graphics, audio, programming?

I can only really agree with the programming aspect in regards to all of these. Linux 
isn't exactly the best graphics platform, though I'm sure that will change soon.

That is a good idea too. I've been running into a lot of teenagers with  CCNAs and 
MCSEs, so I think it is time for some Linux certs teens too! There are some cheaper 
certs for Linux out there (Linux+ comes to mind), as the Redhat one is rather 
expensive/hard to get from what I understand.
