My wife has a pretty easy time using RH 7.2 w/ KDE. I'm using WINE for
some of the windows apps that she's grown used to. Real Player etc.
Wasn't that big of a leap once I explained to her that the big K in the
corner is her start button, and created shortcuts on the desktop for
her. She did say she like that fact that everything seemed quicker and
that it didn't crash that often.
