At least it would for my mother.

However, The KDE and Gnome window managers provided with Redhat do provide a "windows" similarity that might prevent her from going crazy.
Actually, I was looking at the Red Hat Interface and It's VERY Windows like (better than when I had FreeBSD 4.5 and KDE on her box which drove me up the wall, partly because I fubarred the install). It looks like a breeze to set up and get going and easy for Mom to use. My Main concern is how hard is it to get Windows programs to run well on Red Hat (she dosen't play high end games). Anybody ever play with this part of Red Hat yet?
