I got my family an early computer upgrade, then gave a 2 year old
desktop to my brother.  Both run Linux (Ubuntu for his family, Gentoo
for us).  I've got nearly my whole family converted to Linux, partly
because I provide technical support for Linux, but mostly because Ubuntu
has turned out to be rock solid and intuitive enough that help is rarely
needed.

Cool.  That even passes as a homemade gift.
