3:12 AM EST 		Spot on, and I for one "preach to the choir" more than most; but who uses Linux and wouldn't install a Linux System on their Mom's computer?

Just thinking allowed.

If the younger ones don't know about or Use Linux, they are not going to do this anyway....it's a cart before the horse thing. I will see if I can get this posted to some non-linux sites.

Multiple distros, X environments, applications that are no longer active. I tended to agree with the commenters on the blog that it should have been "simpled" and the applications listed should have been more up to date.
