I just have to add my 2 cents here. About a week ago My mother received
the Red Hat 9 disks I sent her. I then walked her though the install
*over the phone*. It took about 20 mins. Her printer (which has to be as
old as the hills) and her sound card all auto configured. She has had
*no* problems with it. (she's got an issue with her modem but I figure
that's the modems problem). My mother is NOT a very technical person.
She's a school teacher, but now with OOo she's been able to interchange
with word docs from school. *ZERO* problems. I really don't get why
people keep saying Linux isn't ready for the desktop. BTW try fedora
before you give up on Linux.
