I think tsclient is just a front end to:

That may be an option depending on how her work has Citrix configured.

Rdesktop just makes a reference to ICA.

I think the harddrive idea is actually pretty good (if I had a spare drive :)
At least this way I could test these scenarios.

I really don't have much experience with iPods though. I know they have some
kind of DRM -- I am pretty certain I can get it working with Amarok, but what
I am not clear on is how it associates the music to account. Even if we
rebuilt her Windows computer it may pose a DRM problem. I hate DRM. Anyone
have any insight?

On another note... I am pretty confident that modern Linux distro's can hold
up a novice computer user like my mother. Primarily she uses her computer for
casual web surfing and email. She is already using Firefox and Thunderbird --
so if I show her the icons she will know what to do.
