Looks great. What do learners do using this OS (besides opening a web browser)? What other teaching resources do you use?

I wrote an entire 3-year (dutch) course around it [0]. My predecessor started his course making them do endless exercises with user rights and vim, which is very boring for 16-year olds. I start them on Apache webserver. This generates immediate interest, and at the same time tricks them into learning about user rights and using vim.
