Many thanks to all who responded to the above topic.
I'm now more confused than ever, but I've written down (how quaint! )
everyone's opinions, and I'm researching the distributions you all
mentioned.
I think I should be done by the end of the year, LOL.
Still, I'm finding it very refreshing to
Ubuntu 7.04 includes the latest version of OpenOffice.org and a special
"Windows migration tool" which allow you to keep your Internet Explorer

It also includes OpenOffice.org 2.2.
Wi-fi support is greatly improved in this version allowing you to

Having used Redhat, Suse, Debian and then Ubuntu, I have to say Ubuntu
is the easiest to use - the problem is you cant just install it from the
CDROM - there are a number of things you need to add (via the "apt"
utility) to match Windows Functionality. However, you can build a custom
distribution,

FWIW, one of the things that I like about PCLinuxOS is
that the repositories are kept quite up to date. The new
version is normally available within a day or two of the
update.
Do you know where the mirror sites are for donwload of the

OpenOffice.org comes standard (preinstalled) on almost every Linux
distro, so you won't have any difficulties there.

so you
are better off not installing this, but downloading and installing the
version from OO.org

Hi WJ
Now (sigh) we're looking at migrating from Windows XP to Linux as OS, so
for the past three days I have been looking at distributions (distros?)
OpenOffice.org comes standard (preinstalled) on almost every Linux distro,
so you won't have any difficulties there.

OpenSuSE with KDE is my recommendation, so easy to use (at least for me).
