Cool!  I was thinking of switching my Mum over to Linux but I'd want to be
a bit more competant myself before I go switching other people onto it.

want to be a bit more competant myself before I go switching other people

In the last year, her experience has been better than I'd hoped - by
far.
Her machine is stable, her programs work, her web browsing is safe,
and
she no longer has to be concerned about catching or spreading viruses
through her email. The machine is faster than she's used to, since
she
doesn't have to have an anti-virus running all the time bogging the
thing
down, so she loves that. I can do updates and replace those
"missing"
desktop icons and other admin tasks from my place via ssh with no trouble,
and most of the time she doesn't even realize that things have been
done.
Since installing Linux, I've had to go to her place just once for a
computer related problem, a failed mouse, and that was simple enough
to
fix. Now I just stop by from time to time for a home cooked meal :-)
