trying to return this thread to the original point:
a) is Linux ready for toddler use?
b) is 3 1/2 too young to use linux?
c) is Linux+Wine(ish) good only for games?
or
a) Linux is ready for toddler use, and probably better than Window$.
b) 3 1/2 is a good age to use linux, but probably too young to understand the meaning of OS (this will start a flame war... I'm sure of it)
c) Linux+Wine(ish) seems only good for games, but is not we should head to.
Regarding (c): I would love to migrate to a Linux-Only box, but I'm still stuck to my dual-boot config because I haven't been able to run 3 applications (not games, but tools: like my CAD software, a CNC specific controller for a robot I run and a Airplane Simulator I use to improve my Radio Control flying skills). I know of people that runs Office 2000 with almost no problems, but I need more to be able to cross the Rubicon...

A guy can't crack jokes? How come the Moses comments didn't get quoted? Is mentioning "THE NAME" off topic? maybe some need to get a life. A little humor adds fun to the discussion, IMHO. I think SUSE is great out of the box. With Windows you have to go out and buy the extra software. At $25 and up (each), that's a lot of dough, especially for the cash-strapped.
