It's currently Mac-only, because of the `say` command, and so that I could write instructions for just one platform. I have ideas about how I'm going to fix that, but that won't be in the near future.
My son was about the same age when I started writing it, but the book scales nicely for any 9-14 year old, I think. Please feel free to give your son a copy, and let me know if it's helpful.

There's a package on Debian Linux based systems called "gnustep-gui-runtime" which (among a lot of other things) provides the "say" command.
Your comment sound like you think Linux isn't appropriate for 9-14yos ... could you explain, all major OS are pretty much equivalent for simple uses AFAICT.
