In this case, you are the highly-skilled systems administrator for your
parents, so naturally they will be happy with the results. If your version
of Linux needs any patches, you will take care of it for them. I don't think
there are many normal users who would be able to work with a setup like that
- they just couldn't afford the necessary support costs. I'm not sure this
is a good example of the benefits of Linux over Windows.
