Indeed!?....I only JUST recently got my 67 year old Mum to install and 
USE Fuduntu Linux on her old Dell Inspirion...and she's getting used to 
the fact that there's no Symantec...or McAfee pop-up scaring the 
daylights out of her telling her her machine is infected and she needs 
to pay $69.99 to download their latest version of anti-virus software! 
Its kinda funny (in a slightly amusing way!) watching someone who's 
experiencing FireFox....Pidgin....and Evolution for the FIRST time!...It 
makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!
