Well, see the Meduxa release
http://www.grupocpd.com/archivos_documentos/info_meduxa/meduxa_project_released/PloneArticle_view
especially the 4 - 8 years old profile

And what's great about Linux is that it offers choices: Gnome, KDE, xfce, ...
you are right that the article is about Linux usability.
It is mostly about young kids ( the author mentions 5 years old) who don't
care about desktop, they only care about having fun and discovering new
