You gave a very good history lesson about the need and reasons for
autotools.
The thing is, many of the software written now, is not intended to run on
HP-UX framework. I'm not a Unix expert, but maybe modern unices are more
POSIX compliant than in the past.

1) Most hardware elements are pretty idiot-proof. There's only one way to
plug them in, and only one place they can go.
But you can skip this step if you want. A lot of people buy new computers
even when their old one isn't exactly broken, it's just not up to spec.
People want faster, more powerfu

Another thing I just thought of.
As has been correctly pointed out, kids this age are nearly always
end-users.
So why not point out the end user experience of Linux? Lots of eye-candy,
stability, not needing to reboot every time you install a program, the
simplicity of finding and installing progra
There have been some very good ideas in this thread (and I'm collecting them
to use on my daughter when she's a little older ;-)), and I just wanted to
