I did the same to my pal whom is not educated and not that aware of PC, 
a lorry driver. He is good in navigating with the handphone thus 
thinking he can try out computer <as in the way of handphone> but 
realized he is lost in other OS windows environment and also poor man 
like him cannot afford all expensive commercial licenses and etc. That 
is where Fedora 10 + LXDE being introduced to him, an hour of 
familiarize the UI with him, now he is happy and have no issue - he 
comment that the "Add/Remove Software" is good, he just need that to 
find software :-)
