Linux *is* Granny-Compatible

“When our aunt (born in 1940, so she’s about 68 now, and yes, of
course she’s also a granny, simply not ours) showed some interest
into having/getting a computer years ago, we (mostly my brother
& me) dug out a collection of old hardware, put together what
we had, and built a computer for her. Someone else had a monitor,
all that kind of thing. I installed the actual stable release of
Debian on that machine (that was still Sarge at that time), and she
had a running machine.

“Sooner or later, she wanted something better, and went and
bought some machine at a big German retailer. Athlon 1.7Ghz, 512MB
of RAM, 80GB hard disk. I moved her Sarge installation to that one,
and she was happy – not a single complaint over all those
years.”
