By the way, meant to say.... I see that you have chosen the Xfce 
version for your friend. Great, IMHO the best desktop for a new Linux 
user. I have installed it for my daughter and my wife and they have 
had no problems. I used to use KDE myself, for a long time, but I 
thought it was unnecessarily bloated for their needs.
Yeah, i think xfce is great. Easy to use. looks good. AND is a very 
close UI to Windows XP (by close I mean the start/menu button are in the 
same place lol). Light weight too.
Most recently I have been using lxde which is even lighter - very fast. 
But it is not quite as pretty (out-of-the-box at least), but I am not 
fussed about that.
In fact, I have now installed Xubuntu on my desktop so we are all 
using Xfce now. And I am very pleased with it.
Now to try to find some friends to convert .....!!

lol facebook? haha

Windows forum?

cheers
Roly :-)
