Regina would very easily get used to a good Linux distro, especially by using Sylpheed as an email client.
2 gigs of RAM minimum for Vista is a cruel joke! Keep the XP installed. Crop out all the crap they preload to "help" you. Then get PCLinuxOS or Ubunutu. I prefer PCLOS as it's not as bloaty as Ubunutu. To befair, Ubunutu sells itself as a Windoze replacement and it is very similar....except that it works right out of the box. The reason for keeping XP in the beginning anyway, is just in case you need an MS driver for a peripheral that isn't readily available in Linux land. Happens sometimes...usually on cheaper machines that have bespoke hardware to save money. You then point the Linux hardware manager to the windows driver and all is fine.
