I need help. And I hope I don't offend anyone...

Hello group: 

This is the short story:
I live in Georgia (see http://hangglide.com/  :) and my mother in law lives 
in Chandler. 

I set up for her a Linux computer that may have a hardware problem. 

She has some limitations that prevent her from reaching the back of the 
computer and plugging and unplugging cables. 

I called the "Geek Squad" for help and they are more than willing to bill me 
$250 to get there and tell me if they can boot (or not) the computer from a 
CD. 

I need someone to visit her, diagnosis whether we have a hardware problem 
and if not, boot the machine with an Ubuntu CD (or whatever) so I can SSH 
into and fix any other issue.
I'll be more than willing to return the favor with flight instruction, 
anything from a hang glider to a twin engine...   :)
Thanks!
Enrique A. Troconis 

PS: I can also help anyone with some "geeky" Linux stuff...
