She’s used Dapper, Edgy, Feisty, Gutsy, and Hardy, but I’m not going to move her up to Intrepid. It doesn’t really add anything for her. She really likes it, but the fact that she’s got some half-dead hardware is creating issues. I need to get her a new computer.

Actually my Parents, my Brother and my Girlfriend all run Ubuntu :-)

So in retrospect, I’m still not sure whether Linux was the correct choice. While it has saved me a lot of support trouble in comparison with Windows (mainly because I have no clue of recent Windowses and their problems), with some more money to spare I would probably have bought her a Mac right from the start. OTOH, maybe that would have resulted in the same amount of support troubles as Linux or Windows, just with other topics :-)

My dad has certain needs and is a odd sorta mix between a power user and traditional „old person“ when it comes to the computer.

They are the sorta people that if they don’t like it the first time they probably will not try again. I will probably end up remixing a personal „mom&pop“ Ubuntu to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible.
