I can say from personal experience that you do not want your children working in
a site that you use for professional or even personal use.

The cost of a linode for his own use is trivial compared to what happens when
your site is hacked due to some issue innocent to your kid.  Your kid is not
wrong, but he can't be expected to know about site security.  I had to clean up
a site that got hacked this way.

By the way, I am a very happy user of linode.com :-)
