Without getting into a distro war, Ubuntu is probably as user friendly as they come.

right out of the box, almost everything is configurable with gui tools, has a large repository of
software and large and friendly online community.

Other than that, Matt might have better input for you on his experiences with it and whether it
would be right for you.

You can get it here:

As for help, I live several hours away, so that's no help. Fortunately someone mentioned GLLUG
which oddly enough seems to be having a meeting tonight.

Good luck
