Re: [PLUG] Ubuntu upgrade help needed by non-profit organisation - 1 laptop

Sorry for top posting, the most foolproof and user friendly interface is
MINT 11, imho. Even my dad likes it.

If he doesn't have a decent download connection,I can mail him the DVD

This is a standalone PC right? Otherwise you would have fixed it via remote
session?

Tell your dad to backup his files to a usb stick/drve. A clean installation
is probably the best..

Otherwise. If he's close to me, sure, centurion, I could probably go.
