"Might want to look at Ubuntu, that is the hottest one going today...."
Not me thanks, I'm techno phobic. For me, this discussion is purely academic.
One of my friends switched his mom to Ubuntu, because he was tired of trying to keep her Windows machine running.
Last I heard, she is not having any problems at all, and he said it was very easy to install.
So how are you avoiding malware, viruses, tojans,.....etc?
