Converted family member to use LinuxLite

Yeah i already tried the Virtual Machine route, TOO many options for her to figure out. Some things don't work, you know the story.

I'm very interested in your problem, would you have any interest if I put a .vdi together for her?

I live in sheltered accomodation with old folk waiting to die and I've put a few linux machines together for them but I never mention Linux it's just my windows, the windows I use, it's easier than business windows.

I'm just changing my isp on the 4th and I hope to have a server then with http://bigbluebutton.org/ on it so I can put a decent support system together.

If you right click on the Linux machine in virtualbox and create a desktop launcher and give it a good big icon, business users are used to working with desktop icons not using menus so give them what they're used to.


That will just boot straight into Linux so then you need a user friendly desktop which I fancy my chances with. Does she, will she use Firefox? because a good default Firefox profile is sadly missing from all Linux distros said the silly old man :

Regards the rest of text everything done on desktop windows is commercial, the only desktop that was written for non business folk is mobile stuff.
