I just installed Linux for my mother...

[Andrew Mason]

Yeh i gave it to my Dad a few years back. Initially he complained and I said 
I'd switch back to Windows anytime he wanted he just had to say the word. He 
didn't take me up on it. A few months later his HD died and he had to use his 
windows laptop. He lasted half a day before he (by him self) had downloaded 
and burnt an Ubuntu iso and managed to install it on his laptop. 

I found it hillarious.
