Ubuntu for (primary) school usage

[Lily White]

Sorry about using `his`, it's my (bad) wording habit (I speak English as 
a second language) and I'm trying to change it, please regard it as 
gender neutral as what I meant.

The joke here is to demonstrate that it is not the sysadmin's 
responsibility to build the personality of students, but rather the 
counselors or teachers. A sysadmin's job is to simply set up protection 
as if everyone are (untrusted) normal users, not crackers.

I'm not regarding geniuses as only good, but educators should make them 
be, that's their job and their responsibility entrusted to them by the 
society.

P.S. the ubuntu-user mailing list messes with my PGP signature, any idea 
how to solve that?
