 <html>Someone who hasn't used a computer since the Windows 95 times wants to have a computer with Internet now. This person is probably as computer-illiterate as you can get, so I'm going to have to put some serious thoughts in how to set this system up. Windows will require a lot of constant checking up, with anti-virus software and the likes, and I expect that to be way too hard to use, so I'm checking into a Linux system which can take care of itself. I can set it up to update everything once a month or so without him having to do anything, so his system stays reasonably up-to-date and safe without any user interaction needed, which seems like a good idea. I'm also thinking of giving him a GNOME3 desktop, modified to, yes, remove even more features. I want to get rid of the ability to have more than one &amp;quot;Virtual Desktop&amp;quot;, so that going to the activities view will always list ALL his open programs. If anyone knows good GNOME3 extensions, a good distro or has a better idea, speak up please!</html>
