Time to celebrate and brag... On Sunday-Monday I visited friends in Salem who are moving to Michigan. They have an old computer (133MHz) running W2K. She was afraid windows had gotten infected by a "security" download she had clicked on. And asked about Linux.
I installed it. But it was having trouble. It took many hours to read the partition table. Long enough that I was unable to stay for the full install. I decided to stay the course. So she did the last step while talking with me over the phone. And the install spanned three days, much of which involved waiting for this slow computer to contemplate its navel. Please understand that both of them are completely unsophisticated computer users. But it came right up after the install. She just edited her first file (from the NTFS partition). She's tickled that it is working. They both wonder why this wonderful system, costing nothing, is almost unknown while the infection ridden windows system dominates the market. Of course, the future is always hard to predict. Problems could come up. But at this point we have new converts. And they know a lot of people. Bwah-ha-ha!
