I have been using the new Ubuntu (Version 5.1) and like it a lot. My
SO is just becoming computer literate and since the box we got for her
(70th Birthday present) came with Ubuntu she started using that,
successfully. She still doesn't have a clue what a "window" is but is
doing email and searching out info on the web for her upcoming trip to
Costa Rica.
Ubuntu is easy. I use the live disks for diagnosing other systems to
see if the problem is hardware or software. If the Ubuntu disk boots
more than likely it is not a hardware problem.
