:-( sounds like my wife and my son. Problem is, they keep asking me
to, fix or explain why, their winbloz boxes keep screwing up! Sighs

I am sure that either one would be easier for her then Debian. The
only problem is, that once installed, she/you would have to use the
Debian tools to keep them upgraded. Or if she runs them off the live
CD she would have to getting new CD's to upgrade.
One good this is that she bought XP and not Vista. Hate to think
about the problems she would encounter with Vista!
