No, I don't think it is a silly concept. Fedora is -fantastic- for 
"mums" mostly because you can tell yum to update things nightly, and the 
software magically takes care of itself! And no virus worries!

However, the closed driver module / kernel update issue breaks that ease 
of set-and-forget. Which sucks. So I don't use kernel modules anymore...

I have my dad on FC5. It works very well! (Sorry, no benchmarks to 
characterize my claims...)
