Hi, I'm gradually beginning a process of getting my mother-in-law transferred over to ubuntu. The reason for this is that she only browses the web, listens to music and uses email, and really nothing else. Her p4 1.6 with 512mb ram is getting a little long in the tooth, so an upgrade is on the cards, but I don't want to buy ms outlook again, so it'll be thunderbird. I'm not certain yet what machine we will buy, whether it's shop-bought or if I'll build, but it'll be small and quiet, and no powerhouse.
Since she already uses firefox and songbird I thought that we might as well go the whole hog and dump windows too. The only problem is that she uses the excellent cloudmark spam filtering software for which I pay a yearly fee. Unfortuntely, despite working with thunderbird, it doesn't work in Linux
are there any other reasonable alternatives? Or should I stick with windows for the OS?
