I tried to raise my kids right, and today all the guys in this house run linux, and all the girls use macs, so it's an all-unix house, and virus free!
Do you have a reason not to have the girls Linux literate as well? My main grief w/ Mac is it's determination to sell both proprietary software and hardware. Talk abut a lock in, whiew!
It's like console game companies, w/ the exception that game makers actually want lots of private companies to make games for their systems. Something that MS seems only to like if it's kids making programs that are free, or mainly free.
My girls are linux literate, and know their way around kde, the gimp, and some command line stuff, but tended to migrate towards macs, for the specific apps and commercial support. They both have macbooks. I'm much happier seeing them on OSX than windoze. My son and I both use linux all day every day - so overall it's a win IMHO.
