I am giving a computer to a person who really doesn't have the money to buy their own. It's a fairly decent, but older box. It has a Celeron 1.8G processor, a 75GB drive, and about 512MB of RAM. This person doesn't have any real computer skills, but has used XP in the past. All they want the computer for is to browse the internet, email, word, excel, etc...
I have told them that I would give them the computer but I don't have any copies of XP, or Office, and they don't have the cash to buy their own. I figured I would put Linux & Open Office on the box so my question is this: In everyone's humble opinion, what is the absolute best distro for a true entry level user? I personally use Mandrake which seems pretty easy to me, but I've never used anything else except Red Hat before the RHEL/FC split.
