Well as a UNIX/linux systems admin. I am forced to work with just about every possible distribution out there, so I'll throw out a couple ideas. My first two suggestions would be for Red Hat or Mandrake. These distro's are almost to the point were'd I give them to my mom and tell her she could use them! =0). The RPM system makes updates and installs so easy, and these seem to be the most popular, and therefore you are more likely to find people with the same problems. However they are a bit "windows" like if you use gnome or KDE. I don't have any exp. with SuSe, come to think of it I probally should try that! Hope this helps. -Chris
