A return to Linux: a review of Ubuntu Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| Linux, specifically Ubuntu linux is Grandma 
| and Mom ready. for two simple reasons... It 
| will NOT get full of viruses and spyware for 
| you to clean out every visit, AND via VNC or 
| even log-me-in you can easily help them 
| remotely if you need to. Not having to fix and 
| clean a PC every week because the user is not 
| a computer expert is a holy grail for any tech 
| person. It's easier to use than a Windows PC, 
| Far FAR cheaper as there are no licensing 
| costs, and most software someone would want at 
| home is available free for it with a single 
| click. But the big test is a real world non-
| techie. can they use it? My wife will be the 
| test subject. Yes that will do nicely, use 
| family as guinea pigs!

Forget Linux for Dummies: now itâs Linux for Grannies

,----[ Quote ]
| In the case of Alex, itâs not clear what role 
| Linux is meant to play. The way the deal is 
| set up appears to offer few of the benefits of 
| open source, but has the high cost more 
| commonly associated with Windows.

Windows and Linux desktop enterprise support comparison.

| Personally I found the Linux end user troubleshooting experience to be far
| more pleasant than with windows troubleshooting. In my mind there are more
| advantages than disadvantages.
