It might depend on what they do. If they're clueless and insist on messing with the computer, there will be problems for Win or linux. If they just surf, email, etc and either don't want to or are not allowed to mess with it, either might be fine. Win is probably not as satisfactory because of the viruses, spyware, etc - these tend to ask too many questions and need a slight amount of knowledge and maintenance. Not good for this crowd.

Actually, The seniors I know are rather sharp and need less care than the younger crowd (excluding teen gamers, of course). Many have more time to learn than the two-jobs-to-keep-alive group. One even does computer security consulting on the side. -- rikona mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
