Just to let everyone know, lest the list become inundated with offers to help, I agreed to help Ashley install Linux on her box. An HP laptop running XP, luckily there's already a partition set up for Linux. I'm sure any links to beginner's Linux information would be helpful though, so anyone who knows of some good tutorials should post them. It might also be useful to compile this list to be added to the website.
