My brother and I have just gone through this with my Dad. In a 
situation where the maintainer and the user are different people, 
the best solution is to use the OS that the maintainer prefers 
to maintain. The maintainer will provide better maintenance and 
instruction, and the user will have a more reliable and easier to 
use system. In the long run, the user will prefer the system the 
maintainer prefers.
