Basically my GF's laptop has nothing but hassle running when running windows.
She bought it off my Dad about 8 months ago but he was running Linux (not sure which distro, and he can't remember either.)
So just after a Linux distro that is fairly easy to use for her, will only be used for browsing and a little bit of word proccessing and spreadsheet work. Possibly also msn.
I know which software i'd put on there for what she needs (Firefox, OpenOffice.org, aMSN, and possibly Gimp for the little bit of photo tweaking she does)
So which distro would you reccomend (my thoughts would be either ubuntu or kubuntu) but open to suggestions, also maybe suggestions for other software other than my list.
Thanks in advance
