Hi,
This is maybe a bit off topic but here goes. I want to install Linux
on my brothers rig. The heat sink on the CPU is not much, OEM type.
I don't want to install Gentoo because of that and it is a older rig
with a slow CPU and not a lot of ram either. So, what is a easy to
install distro that has KDE4, Seamonkey, gtkam, GIMP and such? I want
something easy because I want to install and leave it be until he can
get a new rig built. Then I'll be installing Gentoo for a more
permanent install.
I looked at Kubuntu, Ubuntu and tried to install Mandriva. Mandriva
got to a point and just froze up on me. I tried three times and it
did the same thing each time so no clue what is going on there.
Ideas?

One more question. What is a easy to install but WELL tested and STABLE
binary distro? I'm thinking something that needs a update 2 or 3 times
a year or something. My brother is liking Linux a lot. No more Norton
to pop up and aggravate him and he can just surf wherever he wants for
the most part. Once I get his emails moved over, windoze is going to
take a loooooong nap. ;-) When I plug up the windoze drive, he dreads it.
My sis-n-law is liking Kpat and I installed pysol today. She likes
farming on facebook and card games. I think those two alone will keep
her happy a long time.
Thoughts?
By the way, I have read some of the other messages but holding off on a
reply in case something doesn't work like I want. I did get grub to
come up when booting by hitting the shift key. Progress. I forgot my
notes tho. lol
