She is awesome. reminds me of a customer I worked with at Visionman computers several moons ago. I helped guide her through reseating ram and CPU over the phone and she was set (damned ups). She called in 3-4 months later asking if her computer was linux compatible. I explained that it was 95% compatible as long as she didnt use the onboard raid it would work perfectly.

P.s. let's not forget tech savvy grandma Betty who was asking questions and installing Linux on her computer with the help of the mailing list.

To break that down, how computer savvy is the user. I agree mint is great for the not so savvy. Even for the savvy that don't want complicated.

But if you want a server and being able to do lots of stuff, my choice is centos.

I find myself proselytizing. (Skynet comes!) So if friends and family see something at my house they like I reflexively tell them they can have a similar setup for free(dom). I want them seeing Ubuntu, maybe Mint, because I can't imagine them using anything easier on the non-programmer. And I use them myself; familiarity with Ubuntu quirks makes me look less like a Linux Dork who, like a fan boy, said it would be "easy".

So to add to Steve's list of questions: What would you want your granny to use?
