[SLUG] Linux for seniors?

[Sonia Hamilton]

I'm investigating Linux for seniors, wondering if anyone has any
pointers. 

One of my relatives is getting frail :-( and having more and more
problems - randomly clicking/dragging stuff, destroying applications and
the desktop, etc. A computer for them = "email, ninemsn (ie web)", and
occasionally "get photos from camera, print stuff".

So far Ubuntu Remix looks good (big icons, simplified). Or maybe
standard Ubuntu desktop and use Pessulus [1] to lock it down a bit.

Any other suggestions?
