To grandmother or to lobotomize? That is the question...

[Prof.Wizard]

Your jaded reviewer is seldom at a loss for words, most of them regrettably unprintable, when trying to coerce a new piece of software into behaving properly. Happily, this time he's at a loss for an entirely different reason. Quite simply, this is the first Linux distribution he's seen that passes the grandmother test *and* does so without having been lobotomized first. The grandmother test is simple: could you put it on a PC in front of your 75-year-old grandmother, who has never seen anything except Windows, and expect her to use it? The lobotomy test comes next: it may have been made grandmother-friendly, but did they do so by removing all the features that make it power-user-friendly?
