Chris-Harry,

amazing just how easy it is to get someone to switch to Linux, huh? Either that, or its just amazing how easy it is to get Windows screwed up... Anyway, I must admit, the horns are showing, there, Chris-Harry, just a little... Maybe, its time to buy your pitch-fork, and red suit?

I am quite sure they will "transition" just fine, just keep them away from the Command Line, and some of those Linux Cryptic Commands, and let them roam around the GUI for a while - they might just realize that Linux is pretty close to the same look-n-feel, of Windows? Maybe after a week, or so, you can give 'em the ol' "Memorex or Live" test? Is it "Windows", or is it "Linux"?

Anywho, people are resistant to change, and, will fight it with as much strength as they can, to avoid it... Once they get used to it, they usually find, the change is oftern better than the previous. More often than not, once the change gets over its "new-ness", most people wouldnt go back to the original way, or thing.

Hope everything turns out, for you, and the family,
Ms. Cuddles
