Not unfriendly at all! :-) If you are prepared to manage the box... It is installing and tweaking config options to be _Exactly Right_ that's hard in Debian, using it, when well tweaked is no harder than any other distro or Windows for that matter for someone reasonably intelligent and willing to learn. And given that you're their offspring... :-) My parents run Debian. The workstation has only Debian, the laptop has Debian and XP, but XP is hardly ever in use. I've set them up, and it works fairly well. There are issues that I haven't had time to corrrect, so they call now and then. I've promised I'll fix it for real soon... :-) And that works fine until your father decides he is a geek too, after all, and goes out to buy a new toy without checking the hardware specs and driver availability that we do... :-) Cheers, Kjetil -- Kjetil Kjernsmo Programmer / Astrophysicist / Ski-orienteer / Orienteer / Mountaineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage: http://www.kjetil.kjernsmo.net/ OpenPGP KeyID: 6A6A0BBC
