You could always contribute to a for geriatric project for those used  
to the geritol[1] lifestyle.

GeritOS is an old-timer-class Linux Distribution derived from a  
project were derived from sources freely provided to the public by a  
prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor.  GeritOS conforms  
fully with the derived upstream vendors redistribution policy and  
aims to be 100% Slackware compatible and non-uppity. (GeritOS mainly  
changes packages to remove small fonts and adds more 800x600 artwork,  
640x480 artwork, lower cost generic branding, insoluble fiber, and  
device drivers to anticipate slower typing and increase the effective  
zone for mouse clicks.)  GeritOS is hormone free.
