Every teenager I know mostly cares about graphics.  I would suggest not 
showing them wesnoth as the graphics in that game can not compete with 
the playstation or current windows games.  This is why I did not mention 
freeciv.  Freeciv is a great game, but its graphics are nothing when 
compared to Civ IV; which runs great under Cediga :).

True, the simple install is a good encouragement.

Most teenagers I know do not care about price.  Either their parents 
purchase the games or they download the games from peer to peer sites.

That is a good idea.  You could also mention how Linux servers are the 
most common, more common than windows, to host video games worldwide.
