I don't know what Howard's mom is using the PC for, but my experience
has been that most "light" computer users don't care about the OS as
long as they can "do their thing".

I had my gf running OpenBSD for a while. She didn't care which OS was
on the machine as long as she could get on the web, check her email
and view whatever video/sound/picture files her friends sent. Later I
moved her to FC3 because she needed to be able to open and edit MS
Office documents.
