I have a friend of mine, who is very non-technical, to use Kubuntu. I would recommend using the alternate disk for the install because of the issue mentioned here: <a href="http://blogs.mktec.com/zdennis/articles/2006/07/18/kubuntu-dapper-install-cd-simple-issues">
http://blogs.mktec.com/zdennis/articles/2006/07/18/kubuntu-dapper-install-cd-simple-issues</a>. Kubuntu comes with a lot of pre-installed software and has a painless update process (it even notifies the user when updates are available). I would highly recommend using it, especially if you are going to have non-technical people using it.

<p><DEFANGED_div>Hey everyone...<br><br>I am a Linux newbie, and I am wondering what would be the best distro to use. I have had experience with Mandrake and I have found that it is pretty easy to set up and use. However, I have been hearing a lot of buzz lately around ubuntu. Does anyone have any experiene with Ubuntu? Can anyone comment on the user friendliness?
<br><br>Please keep in mind that I have a very non technical wife who will be using the computer as well. Is this a good distro to use?<br><br>Thanks<br></p><DEFANGED_div><p><DEFANGED_div><DEFANGED_span class="sg">Carlus<br>
