To be fair, *you* are talking about "how to teach children to write programs." The OP specifically asked about how to obtain a Debian blend with a specific set of features/capabilities. The mention of his instructional approach was incidental to the actual question. You decided it would be more helpful to criticize his proposed instructional approach. I wonder if the OP feels that your comments have been helpful. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sánchez
