+1 The less expensive computer isn't a computer with Linux installed instead of Windows, but a computer we mount ourself, after buying the individual parts. Unfortunately not everybody has got the ability or time to do it. For software it's similar, especially for Linux a newbie already could choose the wrong distro regarding to the needs. The imaginary father could run into serious issues, if he buys a printer and scanner ;).
