   Gotta deal with that evil early during installation,
   and they don't make it easy anymore, and you'd better
   not have any net connection it can find.

   Anyway, you CAN compile it yourself - but it's easier
   to pick a good distro and then tweak it a bit after.

   As for your Mum ... KDE desktop ? The look and feel
   are kinda like Winders, and can be set to be even
   more so. Linux Lite resembles Winders too. Kubuntu,
   well, if you can stand what Canonical has done to
   Linux ....
