The thing is he's ONLY JUST got his head around having a linux system to begin with and changing distros is too much for him to take in. I'm batteling with; If it doesn't work I'll just go back and get the XP version" I really don't want that to happen! Let's hope the latest 'lite' will work that I've downloaded.
