My 4 1/2 year old daughter LOVES TUX. Anytime she sees a penguin, she says, "look, it's Linux!" Start 'em young, I always say.

I can top that: at 1 1/2 years old my son accompanied me on a shopping trip to find a pre-packaged RedHat 7.2 set (broadband access was down at my home and had to get my laptop running ASAP; besides gotta help the good folks at RedHat with a purchase now and again!). Ever since then he loves "RedHat" and will ask me, when I'm using my laptop, "is that RedHat? I like RedHat!" (He also distinguishes between RedHat on my Toshiba and OS X on my TiBook.)

Even though he likes to watch Thomas the Tank Engine DVDs on the TiBook he prefers "RedHat" to this day.
