"sodipodi, gimp, synaptic, kroupware, kpdf, peacock" are not words that mean anything to most people. There may be many applications, but with such unclear names people will have a hard time working out what they do.
This isn't the right approach. You are assuming a child 'naturally' behaves badly. The truth is the child does not know what is right or wrong. This means that if you provide slight good consiquenes for good behavior and slight negative consiquences for bad behavior, you should be successful. The ranges of these consiquences does not have to be extreme.
The most severe mistake you can make is confusing distress with bad behavior at very young ages - at this point your focus should be on education not consiquences.

Me too!
YES exactly!
I was wondering why this hadn't been mentioned already.
