It's easy to see that there are more and more of the former experience 
happening, and fewer of the latter problem.

I left my wife with a Mandrake 9.1 desktop in England, and she hasn't needed 
any help with it.  It took some work to get it running.

I guess it's been a while since I tried doing a stand-alone, dial-up system 
for a non-knowledgable user.  Unlike others, I usually find problems with 
older hardware and linux.
