What to tell 13 year old kids about Linux and Open Source?

[amichay p. k.]

hi,

i think that you should try to show them the "cool" factor of linux.
you can show them how to boot there computer with linux live-cd, and maybe
give them a few ubuntu live-cd's.
you can also show them the games in Linux, and tell them that they can
download many games for free and easily.

i know that this things worked on my brother, and he's 12 years old.

good luck, amichay.
