Author: Benjamin Ashton Date: To: Hampshire Subject: [Hampshire] A nice distro please
Hi,
My wife's laptop, currently running XP, has got a bit silly as of late, which has given me the excuse/permission to put Linux on it. It only has 512 RAM. Could anyone suggest a distro that doesn't keep using the hard disk for swap but would also make an easy transition from XP. Would Gnome or Xfce be better? It would also have to have a word-processor that could open Word files (so, I presume, must have Open Office - does Xfce allow for Open Office?), photos and music.
