I always thought a good line for Canonical to get into would be to release a "Granny-buntu" distro that was super-locked down that grandkids could set up for their elders once and then ideally have a few easily identified launchers on the desktop that would launch with sensible defaults, and nothing else.

You could do this yourself, by setting a root account for your admin work and an unprivileged account for your parents. With that setup is not so easy to nuke things over. (But a backup is still important :D)

  An unprivileged account can still do stuff like accidentally hide the toolbar or delete some shortcut to an application. The machine still boots, but it's effectively unusable.
