What IS the relevance of an operating system?

| Being the nice guy, I suggest I would install it for her, right in front of
| her face. She agreed and I whipped out the USB drive containing Eeebuntu
| (that I carry with me all the time) and proceeded to install it over her
| Windows installation. After it was finished, I sat with her for a bit to make
| sure she could use it. She didn’t ask a single question. Instead she was all
| smiles at how cool the new interface was on her netbook. Did she know it was
| Linux? No. Did she need to know it was Linux? No.

| He's a bright kid so I don't think he'll have any problems with any of the
| major distributions; however, one hurdle is that he will not have Internet
| access from his computer. Therefore, I need to find a distribution that comes
| with a lot of software and is not dependent on net access.

Why I Chose Linux and Why I’d Do It Again
,----[ Quote ]
| I started researching alternatives and Linux became the leader. Since the
| Imac ran on a Linux system, I was somewhat familiar with it. The more I
| researched it the more I fell in love. I also fell in love with the whole
| idea of open source and having a choice when it comes to programs. I replaced
| Internet Explorer with Firefox and Outlook with Thunderbird. Those were the
| two best changes I have ever made.
|
| For Valentine’s day this year, my husband bought me an Eee Pc with Linux. It
| is the best computer I have ever owned. It comes with Open Office,
| Thunderbird and Firefox. It also comes with other programs that are user
| friendly and useful. For under $400, I can’t believe these aren’t selling
| faster.
