Check out the Mepis and Ubuntu "live" CDs. (Especially Ubuntu.)
My Dad stayed over at my place last night, and without any instruction from myself happily found his way into card games and various applications on my PC. (I'm running Ubuntu "Hoary Hedgehog" at home.) Ubuntu has a lovely interface configuration/design. I can't recommend it highly enough, and it has become the distribution I'd foremost recommend for client machines. My only concern would be that some functionality does require some user intervention and know-how. (There is an unofficial web-page that I find very helpful - may be off-putting to a novice though. Sorry I can't remember the address off the top of my head.) > - Jeff (who works on Ubuntu, which may reflect some element of bias) Hey - Gotta love any organisation that'll give away a nice debian-based distro on CDs at their expense.
