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.
I have been converted to the Debian Way so i'd suggest Kubuntu. KDE
will be more familiar to a windows user, and it's extra easy to set up
and manage.
don't use the kubuntu iso (it doesn't include the system administration
tools, which most folks will need). instead start with ubuntu and
'apt-get install kubuntu-desktop'. the end result is a kubuntu system
but with more tools.
