Updating? Ubuntu is fresh!

[hawkwynd]

I've been using Ubuntu now for 2 weeks. I'm hooked! It's fast, friendly, 
and a joy to use. I'm considering testing the Os on my wife's 70+ yr old 
mom, who's only interest is email, a little surfing for recipies, and 
solitaire. She likes BIG icons on her desktop and only three: email, 
web, and solitaire. So, I think shes' going to love it. We'll see when I 
install it next week. For me,  it's a nice fresh Os, with a small 
installation, and has the capabilities to support the big stuff, but I 
don't want it to.
