I want to thank everyone for the quick replies. As the replies came in I leaned more and more toward LINUX for the living room machine and maybe if she does good in school for the year I will get her a chrome book to replace her aging Tablet. I know once I place that LINUX box in the living room my Son and Daughter-in-law will be the ones that will revolt. Well maybe my son won't because it will push him to learn something new.
