Set up his own account. Each of my 4 kids has their own machine with their own accounts. I use squid and iptables to lock them to specific sites they can visit. They pretty much have to ask permission to get a new one bookmarked and allowed. My 5 year old has no trouble getting to the games and web stuff because the icons on FC2 are pretty large to begin with (and are huge on a 21-inch flat screen.) My 8 year old does all her work in OOo and knows how to save in Word format to take to school. My 10 year old does that same, but has access to more sites and is able to make certain changes to her desktop, etc. She even has her own GPG key for email and such. My 13 (almost 14 year old) loves Fedora and nearly failed a computer skills test at her Junior High School because she doesn't know Windows that well. I personally don't see any need to try to customize Fedora for kids. Besides, if they know it now, they won't be too bothered by it later. > > My 7 (almost 8) does school work and other stuff.
