ok guys, heres the deal...my girlfriend continuously finds some way to screw up her computer..if it isnt her, its her a**hole mother who looks at Nsync pr0n....im sick and tired of going over there to run spybot/adaware cause theyre too lazy/not smart enough to do it..and then when they break the computer, her mother blames me ....(i really do hate the woman, many more reasons that just that)
Other than browsing, they do nothing more than AIM, email, maybe some typing..i decided screw it, im just going to find a distro and slap that on there..its an eMachine so its horrible slow, and i get blamed for that.
So what would you guys recommend (gui wise) thatd be for the computer idiot? If i could slap mac OSX on there i would...but thats not doable...and of corse new things intimidate them....i think id hafta turn off multiple desktops on KDE/Gnome cause theyd get lost there.
The only thing i could never get working with linux is printers..they have a lexmark, but theyve broken it..i dont know what theyre using now..for awhile they were using an HP deskjet i garbage picked..then a cannon, off to another lexmark..
So would you guys suggest something like Xandros or Lindows? I highly doubt anything will work, her mother iwll complain about SOMETHING even if it works right
