Any suggestions for a Linux distribution? I'm setting up a box with two
primary uses: Slimserver & "Internet PC" for my wife. So she basically
needs a browser.

I worked with Unix for many years, but it was a while ago - so it's
nothing wrong with a distribution that's easy to install and maintain.
But also flexible and possible to configure - I thought about FreeNAS
with SlimNAS, but I think FreeNAS is a bit too rigid...
