Although, I letter that was sent to the child's parent was completely inappropriate.

What do you mean, pushing linux? I doubt a classroom full of grammar students would be all that interested in an OS. He was probably just showing off some of the graphic features linux has built in (wobbly icons, Compiz, etc). Why she would confiscate his disks instead of just telling him to put them away is beyond me. And the letter to the father is just classic.

So no, I don't think the kid was doing daddy's work. I think the kid is stuck with a an idiot of teacher given her response to the father.

So he just carries around Linux installation disks? Just seems a little strange to me.

Why? It says he was giving a demonstration, maybe he just liked it and wanted to show his friends. Considering you can run any linux OS off the CD without installing, it's a good way to let people try it.

If your giving a demonstration and people like it and want to try it, why not have a few copies to pass out? How is having a few kids play around with linux daddy's work?
