I've mentioned before that I have made some boxen for my mom and
grandparents using Mandrake.  It works great and I get to automate a lot
of tasks and hide some system stuff that they don't need to be worried
about.  Aurora is great for them.  Actually, it really was part of
getting them excited about Linux.  The normal boot up sequence can be
unnerving if they are already worried about somehow breaking the
computer.  :)  Plus, for people like my mom (a little more computer
savvy than my gramps but who loves colors) the eye-candy is much
appreciated.
