Hi,
My kids use Scratch too. There are a couple of versions. The web version does require Flash; however to @Luke's point, you can also install it in Linux in which case it is an older, non-flash version. My kids have used that and it works great.
Python is a good option too. The other option I like for new programmers is Turtle for Python. (https://docs.python.org/2/library/turtle.html) It runs great in a Linux desktop environment.
