I setup a computer for my mom last week...and after a bit of cajoling I
installed Redhat 8.0 on it.  Her comment after initial nervousness: 
"It's very nice...like Windows only a little easier."

She later bought a Samsung laser printer at Best Buy and the printer
actually has a sticker of Tux on the front and says "Linux Compatible". 
Pretty cool.  The printer was relatively easy to get setup though it
took much more tinkering than it should have.  I could only print as
root until I changed some permissions for instance.

My problem now is that the printer won't work unless it's turned on when
the computer's booted or you pull the USB plug out and stick it back in
while the printer is on.  Anybody know a good way around this?
