Darn it all
I’ve had two major problems with the move to Ubuntu on the wife’s box: first, the wireless got all goofed up somehow, and, second, Thunderbird kept crashing when she tried to send email.

Converting the wife from XP to Ubuntu
Posted by ushimitsudoki on January 13, 2008
If I can do it…
So far, my move to Ubuntu has been a great success and I like it more as I learn more. There’s one more box in the household here – the wife’s. Now, all she does is a few casual games (spider solitaire, othello and the like), surf, blog and email – and some minor related tasks like very simple image editing. I’m getting more comfortable with Ubuntu, so I figure it’s time to move her over as well. Her computer is my old desktop, a P4 1.7GHz with 1GB of RAM and 2 80G drives – not worthless, but certainly not “peppy” under WinXP.
She doesn’t know or care about a computer outside of those uses, and gets bored to death if I have to explain something to her. The box is not virus/spyware or otherwise crippled, it’s a WinXP SP2 install that I kept up-to-date with anti-virus and anti-spyware checks.
