Hi, Scott. I took the lazy solution to get my girl friend using Linux.
I installed Gnome 2.2 from Debian packages. It probably isn't as
accessible as Gnome 2.4, but it does enough for me. My girl friend
thinks Mozilla and Gnome 2.2 are great. The upgrade to Gnome 2.4 will
make it more usable for me, but she won't have problems I can't fix.
You can get Gnome 2.2 packages for Debian Woody as well as Sid.
