* N B Day
I'm considering converting my wife's play and writing computers to Linux Mint for a couple of reasons:
1. It's dead easy for the non-technically adept to learn and use.
2. If I croak suddenly, she's got time either to learn the little additional stuff she'd have to to upgrade in a year or two when things start to get old or to hook up with another nerd. oS would take more learning than I suspect she'd we willing to do, and you can't count on the nerd, who's more likely to be familiar with the Ubuntu family anyway.
3, I've already done this for several friends.
I don't know many middle-class people, either in Europe or North America (even singles) with one or fewer computers; not many of them rolled their own, so most of them have already paid for some crap from Microsoft.
You might have a quick look at puppy-linux. Minimal/easy install and very little overhead. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
