Most importantly, she will not have to bother with the time-wasting and expensive activities which surround Windows in its capacity of virus magnet. How any newbie copes with the whole vicious circle of infection, re-installation, protection, updates, etc., defeats me.
I have installed Mandrake on several senior citizens' computers and generally a bit of help is required every now and then, but it is normally sorted out over the phone, or for a few minutes, accompanied by a cup of tea and a chat.
There is also no problem getting Mandrake to see wireless networks. We don't have such luxuries where I live, but when I was in Europe on holiday, I had no trouble connecting to the hotels' access points with Mandrake 10.1beta2 (at the time, August last year). I was using an Orinoco PCMCIA card. Unfortunately the ADSL infrastructure does not exist yet in our beautiful seaside village. I believe it is due in 2006.
