I do not think that Linux is for those either, the corel Linux disti is 
said to be such easy but I have not tried it. But if you have an 
administrator to setup a machine for those people both are fine.

The SuSE Linux ditribution has more than 1500 applications as 
binares on their CDs, a menu to install and remove them and a 
handful of scripts that will change the apropriate config files and 
restart services. But, all those programms are precompiled with 
almost all options enabled so do not ask for security.

I think that is the bottom line: one allways trades simpicity for loss of 
security.
