Yes. Well, not your mother (unless she paid me) but I used to support
my father and I ran Unix on his system. It was great. If he had a
problem I could generally get into his system and work on it as if I
was right there except he couldn't watch over my shoulder and interrupt
me every 30 seconds with questions. Now he uses WindBlows and it is
easier for me only beause I can send him to my siblings for support.
If I am willing to support someone who doesn't understand the
technology I would rather put them on Unix rather than MSW.
