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.

Your either brave, or have too much time on your hands. It is taking hours upon hours to get these folks going on Linux, and who is going to be able to do this for very long? The last installment will be: Diane needs to print those damn checks, so she will succumb to QuickBooks and WinXP. Once she's in an environment that does what she wants, who will want to dual-boot into another one that doesn't do what she wants. Soon the Win32 version of Gaim will be installed, and it will be all downhill from there.
