A ten year old boy tries out Fedora Linux 11 Game spin, and likes it a lot, but not for the reasons you would expect.

My eldest son is ten years old. He as been using computers in one way or another since he was 4, and he has already seen Linux because I had installed Ubuntu and SLED 10 on his XP computer some years ago.

It's now early July, and tonight Christopher did a yum update after he had a problem getting compiz to work properly. That's pretty cool because at the start of June, I set him a challenge to use nothing but Linux on his computer for a month (I thought he'd last a few days and then give up).

The month has passed and I wanted to see what Christopher thought about using Linux daily.
