Check it out - I've been using it for a project, and it's really fast and really easy to use (supports both xpath and css for parsing links). For spidering you should check out the ruby mechanize library (which is like perl's www-mechanize, but also uses hpricot, making parsing the returned document much easier).
We actually just finished running a kids' summer program at the YMCA Gambia, and we used edubuntu to teach the kids, among other things, an introduction to programming class, using kturtle. kturtle is a LOGO interpreter, with a very good help manual, and it is so graphical (runs in KDE) so the kids get immediate feedback. Plus it can run off CD along with the rest of edubuntu, if you don't want to install anything.
The kids themselves - we're talking between 5 and 18 here - had a lot of fun and at the end of the program we burnt edubuntu Live CDs for them to take home and continue using on their home PCs.
As if we didn't have enough trouble with landmines getting left over after wars are over and killing innocent civilians, now they're making them even harder to find and disarm?
Having used both itunes (on windows) and amarok, I think the latter is more than a good replacement for the former. It interacts seamlessly with my ipod, does great music recommendations using last.fm whilst you're listening (so you always have an automatic DJ with your taste in music), and is continually being developed and improved (a new version came out last week).
The main barrier for average users wanting to move over from Windows to Linux is that they have used Windows forever, and are so used to it that they find a change uncomfortable, and would just rather continue using what they are familiar with.
But teaching children how to use Linux really removes this barrier, since it allows them to become familiar with how it works, the genral look-and-feel of the desktop, etc.
Bravo Egypt LUG.
we have loads of bootlegging - I live in the Gambia and I personally don't know anyone who's ever bought Software - everyone borrows and burns.
This would totally not work over here. I think Microsoft should just cram this whole idea. Cram it, Microsoft!

...it would be nice if they left the network in place, if this were at all possible. I'm sure the Iraqis could make great use of it.

I couldn't resist - in Ruby, using the beautiful (but much understated) hpricot library:
doc = Hpricot(open(html_document))(doc/"a").each { |a| puts a.attributes['href'] }

Yes, but even with LTSP he'll still require a powerful machine to run the server on.

I used phpmyvisites before, and it isn't too bad - setup was a breeze, it gives good stats. but I've moved to google analytics now.

:-) Back to the questions.
That had me cracking up picturing a young nubile Windows...OK OK.
