Doing what.. compiling kernels?<g>  What kind of "work" were these
children doing that benefitted so much from the Linux OS.  Usually
children (especially) are shielded from the OS by whatever application
or game they're using.  Personally, I've never seen an operating system
so ideally designed for mindless interaction as Windows9x.  It is
strengthened by it's lack of internal logic and immutable interface
which keeps users from doing serious harm.<g>
