I find that one of the nicest systems for the 'Mums' of the world is Linspire (www.linspire.com). I have it on my kids PC's with a SurfSafe. It has an Office Suite that is compatible with Windows products. It's been over a year now and the PC's have never acted 'goofy', no bluescreen, no pop-up's, no problems at all. Anthony

I use Sophos, and there's just been a news story that mixing W2K final rollup plus Sophos isn't wise ... But no, my brother and me were down at Mum's, where she had a working pc. I upgraded mum's Office 2000 setup, while Bro upgraded AVG from v6 to v7. I can't remember the details, but (bearing in mind it *could* have been Office that was responsible, but highly unlikely) after that the system was unusable. Iirc it wouldn't even boot properly. I ended up installing W2K. And I need to go down again because that is now doing weird and wonderful things. I really ought to work out how to get Office to run under Wine (Mum only started using doze because she went on a course that expected everyone to be using Office :-( I HATE supporting doze - especially over a phone and 60 miles away! At least my setup I can (mostly) keep clean.
