Hello everyone, My grandma's webtv died recently and i'm looking at a replacement in the form of a PC with wireless keyboard/mouse for her, and using a scan converter to hook it up to her 36" TV. Looking over the various options of OS's, I think i've found a solution. I'm going to install redhat 7.3 and an amazingly simple desktop solution called oeone homebase desktop. It's like KDE or gnome but this thing is amazingly simple. http://oeone.com/products/desktop.html Check out the demo and screenshots. I tried it out on my dad and he really liked it. Check out what people are saying about it. http://oeone.com/products/testimonials.html
It was very easy to install on my test box. It was something like links -source http://install.oeone.com/ |sh or something like that I had the whole computer setup in about an hour. >From their site: HomeBase is not a Linux distribution in the traditional sense but, rather, a custom environment tailored for a user's needs. It combines the best of both worlds: an easy-to-use, intuitive operating environment for those who want to keep it simple; a quick, one-click access to a more sophisticated environment for experienced Linux users. While HomeBase DESKTOP comes with a full package of applications, it's simple to pull apps that you're already working with into the HomeBase environment. Adam J.
