Faced with an expiring XP, I had a thought about moving my mother
(complete techno-luddite) to Linux. She only needs an office suite (OOo
instead of Word should do), Skype (works fine on linux, and her webcam is
supported), an email app (evolution/thunderbird instead of Outlook), and
that's about it.
It's Linux or Win7.
If I'm setting up and admin'ing, are there any downsides really? I can
make it look/behave much like XP, so the learning curve may be smaller
than with Win7.
Am I delusional because I breathe Linux? Or can this be done?
Corollary: What distro?
