     @hrhnick Good idea. Best not to frustrate her. Also explain that it is different from Windows and Mac and where to find/ask for help.

     @hrhnick It could be worse, people keep confusing my !Xfce install for a customized Windows

     @hrhnick Don't! You'll offer her a chance to realize Ubuntu fact, then she will change her mind and refuse it!! Lol

     @hrhnick You need to tell her it was Ubuntu. She doesn't need to go out talking about how awesome Macs are, when she wasn't even using one.
