From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That first sentence of yours is remarkably questionable.. it absolutely is not even close to being equivalent to killing people ? Your sentiment is computer skills are a mandatory skill ... But then suggest they should only be able to practice on windows 98?? How's that relevant to modern computing??
I definitely think computers should be minimized in schools. Computers are now used in drama, art (not for graphic design) .. used way too much in my opinion. From memory I believe there have also been studies that demonstrate better learning outcomes when writing with pen and paper than on a laptop.
