What Linux should I install (for a user who is more dumb than smart).
I would recommend Ubuntu. My parents/siblings have been using it for more than 2 years without any issues. All they do is check mail, chat, write documents, spreadsheets (... the usual stuff). I have made icons on the desktop so they can access everything easily. What the heck, my mom even once did a fsck :-) when the power went off and the computer was shut down. (In similar situations windoze just dozed off and had to reinstall twice). Sorry if this sounded like a user testimonial but I am tired of hearing that '200x' is the year of the linux desktop every year :-) As for the (k)mail files, just copy your $HOME and it should work. You may have to overwrite the files which kmail creates when it starts off the first time with your existing ones. -- Vinayak
