By the same token though, I find it much easier to fix remotely. I got tired of having to talk my father through tech support issues, since under windows it often required me walking him through all the steps. Far easier to email him a command string and tell him to paste it into the terminal. Sure, this doesn't help him learn how to fix things himself, but he has zero interest in learning to use the computer for anything more than a web browser anyway. And the lack of malware is a nice plus.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoIf all he needs is a web kiosk why even bother with a real OS? Sounds like the perfect job for ChromeOS or Porteus Kiosk.
- massysett 8y agoIf he just needs a Web browser, I've found that the iPad is the best solution here. Both hardware and software are very durable, and portable. Get a Bluetooth keyboard and some sort of stand for the tablet and you're set.
