Ah ok thanks. It refused to show the entire thing in Thunderbird. Anyhow, my opinion is Ubuntu is the easiest distro, however "easy" is really kind of an opinionated statement and I'm sure you will get many different answers for that. And the other question has multiple answers as well, it depends on which distro you install, as they all install a bit differently. Now, as far as a corrupted hard disk goes, I wouldn't use it for anything, as corruption in a hard disk continues to grow, and then you are losing data.
