Hello James,
I agree the Caldera 2. distribution, with KDE are safe

It is perhaps not too exciting, but a clean solution,
with little chance to overload call to "tech supp".
As long as somebody install for a new user, I do not
think the distribution itself is too critical.
The wm is another story.

I install Afterstep, I think both are fine for this
kind of machine.
