Personally I'd recommend AGAINST linux for a person who it totally new to computers at this time. Perhaps in a few more years, but not at present. Too easy to get themselves in trouble with their system and totally lost. Also, they'd tend to become discouraged by the learning curve as well as lack of software titles available "off the shelf". You'd be getting calls about "WHY can't I run this new neat-o-keen 3D packman game I just bought"... Now as a SECONDARY OS, I'd recommend linux with the caution about the learning curve. Let them see the super easy idiot OS of windows and a REAL OS operating in their native modes. One a bit more difficult to use/configure but blazingly fast, the other (well, we already know about windows)...
I have a friend and his wife who are new to computers and would like to start them on the right path with Linux. Can anybody help?
