Now, this would be fine and dandy, as she doesn't
need anything special that Linux doesn't support, but her computer is very
old. I haven't been told the specs exactly, yet, but my guess would be
something like Pentium 200Mhz 64MB and probably an under 500MB HD.
My mother had knoppix kde (KDE 3.1.1) installed on her machine HD (which makes it a debian unstable), and it works fine- she is in love with it :-)
Her machine is similar:
P166, 64 MB RAM but she has a 4GB HD.
Boot/login is extremly slow, but we keep the machine always on. She discovered that it is faster to put different apps in different desktops and switch between them, then having them on one desktop and minimize/maximize.
Apps she uses on a regular basis: koffice OpenOffice 1.1 beta kopete konki for browsing linneighborhood (for browsing our local lan) kmail jotz
She is very very happy, and finds this setup very usable.
