Hi Sonia, My 80 yo mother has used Ubuntu LTS since 2006 (Dapper). She used to freak out whenever she saw the update notifications so I've turned them off and I run updates for her when I visit & upgrade her system when a new LTS version is released. Screen resolution & system-fonts are set for her optimal viewing (big) and she has learnt to use claws-mail with the occasional tute/walkthrough from me over the phone. She prints and downloads her photos without too much trouble and she is hooked on playing Gnubg. The PABX phone system in her retirement village has meant that she has to use a mobile broadband dongle to connect to the net. Thus far, she hasn't managed to break anything!
