Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Does it?
I haven't seen that client apps - games, office tools, Internet browsing, etc are any harder for Linux than Windows. Maybe admin tasks might be hard for someone to absorb - but once set up, how many of those would she deal with anyway? That'd be YOUR headache, no? *chuckle*

Set up the box to dual-boot, but give her an account - ask her to use Linux when she can, rather than rebooting (for things like browsing, mail, etc.)

Who knows - she may grow to like it better!

Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.
 
 
New Last time I tried a dual-boot
I hosed up the hard drive partition. All or nothing. :)
