Linux for Grandma

Post by Alathald »

I'm thinking of installing an easy to use version of Linux on my grandmother's computer in a couple months and wanted to install and use it for awhile first before doing so. She's not exactly 'computer literate' so I want something even a trained chimp could figure out (sorry granny). I've seen a distro called Ubuntu Christian Edition but for one I've never tried it and for to I'm worried that any parental blocks might confuse her. Plain ol' Ubuntu would probably work but I'm wanting to check a few others out as well so if anybody has any opinions/ideas, I'd be much obliged.

She does the basic stuff like surf the net and word processing, maybe solitaire now and again. And yes kenc, I plan on trying Linux Mint as well (actually downloading it now) :mrgreen: .

I almost fell outta my chair when I saw it as well...it does appear to have some interesting software though.

A few other religion based distro:
