One success story: My parents are using Fedora from the time of Core 5 (Now at
Core 6). As I left my home for the job, they are using my old PIII, 128MB RAM
system. They never used any computer before. So, it was easy to tell them
where to click for what, my father used to have troubles with different
passwords for root and other accounts, so I changed all passwords to same and
as no internet not much threat I think.
Setting up sudo and disabling the root account might be better than
setting the same password for root and non-root users.
