In the previous article, our computer newbie family, Mike, Diane, Mary and Carla, had decided they wanted GNU/Linux installed on the new family/business computer. Debian, via Libranet 2.0, was installed on the system, with appropriate business/office software, as well as the Gnome desktop environment. The next steps involved getting the system configured for easy use and adding various minor tweaks. Mike, Diane and the kids were not involved during the configuration phase of the system.

LOL it sounds like a Soap Opera.
But seriously it is a good article and reinforces the fact people can use linux to be as productive as they need to be.
But it also reinforces my claims and others that Linux can be complicated to configure, eg. You set the system up for them.
It is the same with Uni, the admins set up the Sun labs, and we simply use the software provided.
