<span style='font-family:Verdana'><span style='font-size:12px'>my family come by a few months back and i gave them a LinuxMint on an old Thinkpad laptop (T61).<br />
<br />
and they went home without knowing they were using Linux.<br />
<br />
it was a matter of teaching them were to find the programs and pre-installing the apps for the tasks they need.<br />
<br />
i suppose, it worked so well because they used Firefox, and skype; and a bit of LibreOffice and some picture app.<br />
<br />
<br />
Good Luck!<br />

My first thoughts on this are the Gnome games collection but I only
ever install them because they have a good version of single-player
version of Mahjongg which IMO is the only game worth playing in that
bunch.
On the odd occasion I actually feel like playing a game, then browsing
through http://happypenguin.com sometimes reveals something
interesting (and sometimes games that make me feel nauseous ;-)
Afraid I don't play games much.
James.
