Planning for OS update to my 84-year old mothers PC

However we did struggle with the mouse-click. It did NOT work well under the java/flash and basically teamviewer5 was not workable for most of what we wanted to do if menus of mouse clicking were involved. Its only real advantage was its speed relative to vnc and its ability to seemlessly go thru the firewalls. …

So we may try different software. A possibility is we may use teamviewer to walk my mother through opening up zone alarm firewall, so we can then connect via the nominal Remote Desktop.

I tried the desktop (wine based) version of teamviewer5 from my 32-bit openSUSE-11.3 (athlon-2800 PC) to our ancient Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo 7400M laptop (while runing its winXP partition) running teamviewer. I noted the same problem with the mouse click (ie does not function in many cases). I’ll look into checking out yuuguu next.
