[mythtv-users] MythTV and the "average" user...

My mother is in the process of recovering from some major surgery.
This means two things, I expect to be going to see her in the not too
distant future and and am thinking "is it time to pull together a
MythTV box for her?".

My mother is a retired high school home economics teacher, so, no
dummy, but on the other hand, limited computer skills (well, limited
technical skills in general, programming the VCR is something she
finds frustrating). So, the question is has MythTV with say Mythbuntu
reached the point where once set-up a "average" person could run the
machine? Basicly I want something that will make life easier for her,
not frustrate her...

Thoughts? Feedback?

Thanks all.
