Linux is an operating system, like Microsoft Windows is an operationg system.  Except that Microsoft Windows is a crippled system that is insecure, prone to malware (viruses, worms, trojan horses, etc., etc…).  And I almost forgot to mention, MS Windows is expensive to run, expecially when you consider the costs of anti-virus software and buying lots of other programs.  Linux on the other hand is free*, is more secure than MS Windows, and not subject to constant attack by hackers.  Plus it's free (worth mentioning again).

One of the greatest gifts a parent can give to his children is setting up a Linux computer for them at a young age.  Children love Linux.
