Grandma? I'm a huge fan of Linux Mint. They release fairly
regularly and have several "sub-flavors" as well. I'd try
something like Maya(13). That's their Long-term support version.
If you're concerned that she'll have issues, download it & run
it as a LiveCD ( the default ). If she likes it, it is set up
for easy installation right through the booted liveCD. It's very
easy to use & my almost 10 year old laptop has no problems with
it. It actually was a faster/easier install than any Windows
version & updates are (mostly) seamless.
