Hi,
I am currently running LM 2007 on my Inspiron 9100. A friend wishes to try "linux" for the first time on his older laptop....a P3 around 1000Mhz, I think.
Which version of Mandriva would the group recommend (or other distro?) for this first timer. Of course, he's a windows users so a familiar look would probably make the transition easier. KDE or Gnome.
 
Anyway....any suggestions?

How much RAM does he have? a 1GHz processor is plenty to run the latest and greatest. It is the RAM that is the limiting factor.
I would say 256MB is bare minimum and for a good experience 512MB RAM is a must.
