Hey all,

I bought two Pi4's that just showed up in the mail.  I bought the most fully
featured I could get for both.  One is a combo kit for my kids ... I noticed
they have a minecraft mods things (I know nothing about it, but my 12 year
old does) ... he's begging me to unbox it to get startd.  however .. I have
no clue where to begin  ... what OS would you recommend best for kids?  And
seperately, I have no clue what I'll do with mine.  But as someone who runs a
BBs, I imagine once I'm comfortable with Linux, I'll a) be switching the BBS
over to it, b) putting up a website for the BBs and using the PI as a server,
c) I really want to play around with these Pi's, so ... the SLR camera is
looking fun; but also I've heard of people using them inline with their
routers (not sure why....) so second question would be, which version of OS
would you recommen I install?

Lastly, and cool links on "things to do with the PI" would be awesome. 
They're so cheap, I can imagine owning too many if I continue to have too
much time on my hands.  The internet radio conversation sounded intersting,
have the page pulled up to review as well.  Pretty excited!
