    Firefox is a no-brainer really, but Linux is a horse of a different color. Although it has a graphical environment like Windows it is definitely different. Don’t try to use your Windows knowledge when running Linux (any distro). And by all means don’t let any kids jack around with it. When Linux brakes it can be very hard to fix, even for somebody well seasoned in Linux.
    By the way that Dell is a real scream’ in machine. Put your seat belt on. LOL
