I think the deciding feature will be whether you'll be expected to support him post-install. If you will, I'd go with Linux every time. Make a point of removing all the icons except the ones they don't want to use (though leave games -- Frozen Bubble is the reason my Mum always wants Linux installed on her machines). Then set it up so you can ssh and vnc into the machine for post-install support. That way he can just phone you, no home visit. -- Rev Simon Rumble <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> www.rumble.net It's a recession when your neighbour loses his job; it's a depression when you lose yours. - Harry S.
