I think this will suite my brother tho. They check email, weather and |
| 15 |
the news and my sis-n-law plays games on facebook. They both play card |
| 16 |
games which Linux has quite a few of. So, this is really what they |
| 17 |
need. Of course, if I find something better, I can backup the /home |
| 18 |
directory and install something else then restore the /home and carry on |
| 19 |
with something new. |

If I copy the WHOLE .mozilla directory from winders to Linux, won't that |
| 24 |
keep all their settings, passwords, bookmarks and email? I have done |
| 25 |
that on Linux a couple times with little problems. I'm just not sure |
| 26 |
about winders to Linux. |
