I had the advantage that she had never really used a computer before but she was keen to use the WEB and e-mail. I figured she might as well use Ubuntu than Windows. The main problem she's had is with watching various video sources on the net, e.g., BBC, NASA TV etc. I'll upgrade her to Gutsy over Xmas and make sure this is all working sensibly for her. She asks the occasional question and I do the occasional sys admin work from 300 miles away! Oh, and she's 75!
