Comment 2 for bug 461000

thought: per #11, if people are interested, they are almost certainly not ignorant of ubuntu. Hence their interest. Unless they're ACTUALLY magpies, and simply like shiny discs.

(12) the route 1 approach: many of us are unofficial tech support for friends or especially the older generation. If they're not dogmaticly insistent on a certain solution that they don't actually understand, based on brainwashing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL7yD-0pqZg), just install Ubuntu, noting (5) & (6), and bearing in mind that Ubuntu is no less intuitive to the technologically illiterate than Windows or Mac OSs. Then just let them get on with it. They'll have a better time than with other OSs, and since you'll be getting the blame and the call when anything goes wrong ANYWAY, they might as well be using something that will go wrong a lot less.
