heh.. spose that's true. I haven't yet put a family member onto it, but keep threatening too. Beats having machines wiped out by viri/spyware.

I tried Ubuntu - it's very clean and pretty. I liked it a lot - then I put it in front of my SO and kids. Good luck trying to play a DVD or find files that they've saved. Regardles of the pretty surface of Linux - the underpinnings are old school unix file structures and operations. I lasted about a minute before opening a terminal window.

what about ubuntu? did you have a specific distro in mind?
In reply to this comment by dag:
I guess I misread the the graph.
To each their own. Linux is great if you have the skills to keep it patched and manage your window manager. I would never recommend it to any of my non-techie friends. Even the file manager would drive them batty. I also do a bit of graphical stuff and would sorely miss Photardshop and Illustrator. I've tried Gimp.

Here's a longer version - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u1uRs3Dt7U. I think it's exactly the same, but this has an extra 3 minutes of how to paint your critter. Please update your vid to the longer version.

"When you add sweat to talent, you get magic."
Awesome comment man. I believe the interest/intrinsic motivation is key. For a literal example of what you're saying, look a Penn and Teller or any magician
In reply to this comment by oxdottir:
The longer I teach, the less I'm sure I even believe in any single thing that could be called intelligence. I had a graduate student once who seemed incredibly slow. For a bit I was torn with guilt about how I was going to gently steer him into a field more suited to his talents. He just seemed to take a really long time to get any new concept. Then I started noticing that when he *did* get the concept, he *really* got it. And his approach was new, different, and creative. He did new things, and he did much more profound things than the people who had "gotten" the concepts quickly.
I'm much more impressed by persistence, interest, and joy in the material than I am in any abstract thing called intelligence. Not that there isn't such a thing as native talent, but for all but the highest levels, you can make up for talent with plain old sweat. When you add sweat to talent, you get magic.

*dead - replacemnent here, http://youtube.com/watch?v=nPdP1jBfxzo ... or maybe at http://beatbots.blip.tv/#
However CNNi is really not what it used to be, it pales in comparison to Al Jazeera's investigative journalism.
