Ubuntu Linux is great for a family computer. The install is easier than window, you won't have the headaches of endless virus and spyware removal issues. it is just as easy to learn as M$ windoze and you will find that in the end you are ahead of the game. Anyone who fears linux for the novice user hasn't experienced ubuntu/kubuntu. I have encouraged quite a few budding computer users to make the switch to ubuntu and they have abandoned windoze and aren't looking back. Soon more people will be wondering why we have to pay tax to M$ on every computer we buy. :-) Steve
