Mike, How does 'FREE' work for you? Ubuntu 7.1 is easy to use. Kubuntu is almost the same as Windoze for the user. It comes with Thunderbird, Firefox, Open Office and many more applications. If you have broadband internet you can download Ubuntu 7.1, or if not, the folks at Ubuntu will send you a FREE CD. Happy New year.
