[Scottish] Linux distro for mum?

[Douglas Chappelle]

Hi,

(decloaking after about two years in lurkersville)

I've been very impressed with Mepis. It's based on Debian and seems 
pretty complete. It comes with pretty much all the standard plugins 
pre-installed. I'm in the process of acquiring a system with a view to 
putting this on it for my dad.

My wife has even agreed that when I get round to putting a system in the 
living room it can be Linux.
