I second Scratch, it comes with a lot of examples which she can tweak, so she can explore changing settings. It's very intuitive, my daughter liked it a lot. It's available on Win, Mac and Linux too (on Ubuntu you need to install the squeak

Actually, this is one of the long lasting issues with RoR: most people want to try it on a recent version, but Linux distros try to package stable releases instead. You shouldn't blame the distros for not having the absolute bleeding ed

Ruby Koans is great, I learned a lot (coming from a Java background), there are a number of excercises and small projects, it was a very pleasant experience to finish them.

I use Ubuntu on a daily basis, but I've tried Gentoo, Linux from Scratch and FreeBSD on VirtualBox. In those, I was looking for the experience of building all these layers of software, one on top of the other, like a set of dominoes falling

Highly recommended. IMO it beats other good free fonts such as DejaVu Sans Mono, Droid Sans Mono (has problems with zero vs Oh) and Liberation Mono. On Ubuntu is packaged as "ttf-inconsolata".
