+1 We set up our grandmas system with suse+kde right away, she still couldn't install the printer herself, but we did that for her in 5 minutes and now she obviously only needs to turn it on and send pages. We kept her interface consistent (yeah, that means icons on the desktop) and she knows where to find what and how to turn it of.
So now she does her mahjong games, kword, firefox, kmail, xbmc and skype with ease and doesn't want more. But my grandma ain't the type of person strolling through the local tech store looking for fun software like 'garden planer' or 'photo album creator'. This kind of person is my (non-related) grandpa, and even if that might work with wine that is just not the kind of stuff you can handle like you install some junk on windows.
So over all it comes down to what the people want to do, I think most are happy with a working browser, email and photo viewer
+1 All what they need (in my eyes): - Working Browser - Working Mail-client (I think Thunderbird is the best choice.) - Working Desktop Environment - Working Text processor - Working photo viewer - Maybe Skype or MSN/icq-compatible chatsoftware Maybe we can create a live-distro via SUSE Studio that contains _this_ features and leave out the rest? kdl -- Kim Leyendecker (kimleyendecker@hotmail.de) openSUSE Ambassador powered by openSUSE 11.3 KDE This mail was composed under Linux Have you tried SUSE Studio?
