I went a stage further than that with my brother's machine - Windows 2000 was
replaced with Mandriva running a carefully-skinned KDE. His kids didn't
realise it wasn't Windows until they tried downloading some "instant message
toolbar" for Internet Explorer! They now use Linux exclusively, as their
school (in Madrid) made the move last year, and are probably more adept than
I am.
