I just wanted to highlight here, how important it is to be able to
"appropriate" the tools we use everyday. Or better said, to use appropriate
tools only.

Free/libre software is a set of tools that help us all "talk" to our
machines while preserving our rights to understand, appropriate and share
the tools we use for this dialog. This is the ethic behavior we should
promote among learners.

If you don't have a free/libre operating system yet, you may enjoy Debian
<https://www.debian.org/distrib/> for a taste.

You can try Debian by booting a live system from a CD, DVD or USB key
without installing any files to the computer.
