Thank you Sudhir.
I will be first installing PCLinuxOS, with bfs-PAE kernel
(kde desktop) and let her play with that for a while.
If she feels it is easy to "step up to" from Windows, then
that's what she will get on her desktop.
If not, kubuntu is next in the lineup.
I will check PCLinuxOS too. I haven't heard of it before.
I think you'll like PCLinuxOS. Get the KDE version. In
addition to the 32-bit version, where you want to use
bfs-PAE, like the other fellow, there is also a 64-bit
system with almost all the same apps available. If you're
not a novice, you will find that some commercial, or semi-
commercial apps are available in rpm versions, and the
rpm system is pretty nice to use. (You'll need to look
up some simple instructions on its use.) One I like
is SoftmakerOffice--there is a free and a pay version.
It's got a word-processing routine that works very nicely,
without all the gotchas of LibreOffice, a spread sheet,
and a slide maker. It looks like there is also a really
good PDF program, called Master PDF Editor, that whips
hell out of the Linux freebies. (It's free for non-
commercial use.) For anything else, it's probably in the
repos already, just install it and go.
