I have a similar situation. Last christmas I gave my parents my old pc. I thought about putting linux on it but I decided to wait. I figured I would work them into it Mozilla, OpenOffice.org and a few other apps to start with that way the switch won't be as hard when I do move them to linux. The problem then becomes which distro to start them with. One they might learn a little easier and solve some of thier own problems or one I find easier.
