I know, but I didn't expect it to be this hard either. 

Ubuntu is nice and very easy to use if you have some background and
know what you are doing. But i'm not sure I could give it to my mother
to use and expect her to get it installed or even to be able to add
some packages and so on. If my mum could use it then it would be
perfect, and if my father could then that would be a miracle on par
with the parting of the red sea.

But I would like to install it at my fathers place of business and let
the guys down there add packages and such as they need to. Currently
that is going to be beyond a bunch of mechanics and salesman. They
aren't dumb, they just aren't sufficently computer literate and I
don't think it is reasonable to expect them to be.

But they can stick a CD in the drive and run the install program when
the dialog comes up.

I love the product you guy are building, it is really good, it just
seems that it falls a little short of the promise. But then again it
is not a final release either.

Is there some offical place I should be sending this to, rather than
cluttering up the slug list with it ?
