well, a couple things here. is it mainly going to be used as a live disc or installation? live disc, nothing can beat the auto-recognition/configuration scripts that knoppix (or, technically, its cousins) has. that's probably the most unique part about knoppix is the wide support of hardware out of box. the one peeve i have with 5.1.1 is that i have to use the vesa instead of nv driver because my nvidia card is too new for the nv driver. if, however, you're trying to have an install for her to use (dual-boot or purely xp? that's another important thing we'll want to know in this context) , then i'd really honestly have to suggest *buntu. i'd say it is THE easiest to install. if your relative can't do an ubuntu install, then they definitely could not do a windows install, simple as that. you could always do it for her, or have someone do it for you (if you're near malvern, i noticed that ACE Technology Group, LLC on rt. 30 in malvern will do an ubuntu install for $50). -- Brent Saner 215.264.0112(cell) 215.362.7696(residence) http://www.thenotebookarmy.org Bill Gates is to hacking as Sid Vicious was to the Sex Pistols: no talent, everyone hates him, and he's just in it for the fame and money. ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
