Me neither :) I implemented solution #3 about 14 years ago. |

same here, my grandma started to use linux in 1994, when she was 75 years old (ok, having a sysadmin living with her helped :-), now she is 93 and complains the loudest when the internet is down :-) greetings, eMBee. |

@tracyann, I think it's funny in way, because although Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols is not likely a Baboontu (or Mint) fanboy, some of the Baboontu fanboys DO use a similar tactic to promote their distro. Here's how they do it: 1) Claim how very BAD M$ Win$ucks XP/Vists/7/8 is just like Vaughan-Nichols does here, 2) Claim that Baboontu will basically come to the rescue for you all as the ultimate SAVIOR for all the Win$uck's cr@p that gets on your computers, 3) Dump a whole slew of testimonials and tutorials at all those new Linux users emphasizing how great Baboontu (and SPECIFICALLY Baboontu) really is. Just you watch, this formula never fails! 2c |

Quoting:my grandma started to use linux in 1994, when she was 75 years old (ok, having a sysadmin living with her helped :-), now she is 93 They say happier days, longer life. Is it possible that using Linux instead of Windows have something to do with her happier life! :-) |

Quoting:Is it possible that using Linux instead of Windows have something to do with her happier life! :-) Wouldn't it be an interesting research project to see if the happier life style of a Linux user and the lack of frustration and anxiety actually resulted in a longer average life span. It might very well be that Linux is good for your health! |

Must be getting close to the Windows 8 release! There're a lot of articles pushing it hard disguised as blog posts. This one was pretty funny actually: http://www.neowin.net/news/windows-8-boots-too-quickly-first... Microsoft have really cocked up here. Apparently, it boots *so fast* that it's a real problem getting the boot menu up. Silly Microsofties :D |

Quoting:Must be getting close to the Windows 8 release!We are. You can tell by all the articles telling us how Linux has failed and how awful it is. If Linux is such a failure what are Microsoft people so afraid of it? |
