"Maybe if you want to "get your hands dirty" and poke around in the system"

This is a 'grandma system' for a naive user (I still use Win98SE!!! - it works!) who lives several hours away by road from me and she just wants a working system... F9 broke the 'packagekit' which gave endless errors and could not be updated/fixed - and is no longer supported anyway - so we HAD to move...

I also am getting too old to have any fun spending endless time getting my hands dirty - especially since hey keep 'improving' and changing things all the time (I grew up on OSes with UNIX!!!!) 'fixing' a system I just want to 'work' that keeps getting wonderful reviews as the best thing since sliced bread... puerile is right.... :-)
