Well it looks like there have been a lot of answers to your question,
and even answers to questions you never asked. ;-}

I believe the youngest SLUG member is 16, and he usually attends the
Tampa meetings (though he wasn't there tonight). We have no age
barriers, and I try to treat kids like adults as long as they aren't
insufferable.

But if you want your son hanging out with other computer-savvy kids, my
best suggestion would be to seek them out at his school. Likely there
are some there, though whether they are using Linux or not is another
question. Perhaps he could introduce it to them.
