> To be very frank, if the best thing you have done for your children is getting them to use Linux you are a total failure as a parent.

Where are you getting this from?

I paraphrased the part I quoted from the OP: "one of the best things I did for both my son and daughter was for their first computer to help them to build and setup their own Linux compute"

  • Ah, I see. I had taken the "one of" much more heavily than "the best things", as to mean: "I think this was a good decision I made that I'm proud of". I was taken aback by you concluding they were a total failure as a parent as a result of their assessment of that decision.
