A new neighbour told me yesterday that the Win98 laptop he uses for email, browsing and basic Office documents has run out of disk space so he can no longer update his Norton antivirus files! I've offered to demo Linux to him and I'm thinking of suggesting Kubuntu since this often seems to be recommended on this list for newbies.
I think he's probably going to be looking at buying a new lappie, so can someone point me in the direction of a retailer that can supply the hardware without paying M$ tax? He's not interested in broadband at the moment, so is there anything I need to watch out for in terms of modem compatibility? Tom
