on the other hand, a couple of years ago i helped a (then) 62 year old
granny migrate from Winders ME to SuSE 10.2 with little fuss and bother
(other than installing, setting up (with her passwords etc) and telling
(and demonstrating) her to use Firefox instead of Internet Exploder; and
Thunderbird instead of Outhouse, and OpenOffice instead of Winders
Orifice)..

of course, i didn't give her the root password ;-)

dd
she loves it...loves to brag to her tea-time-old-lady-friends [every
time a new virus wipes them out] that she doesn't even HAVE a virus
checker, and and updates Office (etc) for free!!
