Well Tommy, I'm older than your dad, and I only owned a computer for the first time just over 2 years ago, and not only that, but I managed to get into linux as well, which means that , if I can do it, he can too, and I would not be supprised to learn that he became better at it than you. Tell him to start with either downloading the 3 no. ISO CD files from mandrake website,then burn them to CD,or buy the same from Mandrake store where they come in a box with some usful install advice in the form of a book, then get him to join the newbie website , and ask how to proceed.
