I know how to do the necessary admin with FC. Debian I'm much less

different set of admin tools.
Why did you push Debian on her, when your expertise lies in FC?
"Push" is a four letter word :-)
I got her a bunch of LiveCDs, and she ran them. Of them all
she liked Knoppix and Kanotix the best. Since they are both
based on Debian, that is what I suggested. One of the things
she liked best was that both of them did an excellent job
of recognizing and setting up hardware with little interaction
with the user.
Fedora I would not recommend to anyone not interested in
eternally fiddling with the machine, broken interfaces,
and churn. It's for people whose hobbies include fiddling
with new installs and reloading.
I'm not into that, either, for these large machines.
When I finally upgrade to another release, it won't be
FC.
The reason _I_ installed FC was that I got an employment
contract, and was requested to build up a machine which
could dual boot WinXP and FC for test on multiple platforms.
Due to inertia and general laziness, I have not moved from
FC2, which in FC terms is REALLY ANCIENT.
I don't like it, but I also don't like reloading. :-)
And, I don't consider myself expert at FC admin, either.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
