The classic case is the older generation nervous about computers who wants email and web.
Exactly. My mother has been running Windows. I had to reinstall it every couple of months because of viruses and misplaced Windows files. My mother just dont accept the concept of nested files and directories, and file manager is very confusing to her. The question "where did you save the document" has no sense to her. In Windows, Explorer is everything, so it becomes a nightmare. KDE is not much different, though is safer to use.
Her concept of comuting is:
- writing documents (that means wordprocessor)
- Internet (that means browser)
- email (this is NOT Internet, browser is Internet :-))
- shutdown
I have installed a single icon for each task, and that was it. I needed to play a little with sudo to enable shutdown and pppd for non-privildged users, and with Xdialog to create "wizzards" for both.
