I think I know the answer to this, but thought I would toss it out to
the group, totally off topic, but I am wondering what OS someone would recomment
for a total computer newbie. I have built up an old Gateway PC and gave
it to someone wanting a PC but no cash to get anything. Well I had put
XP on it, but after about three day they had it totally hosed, with more
spam/maleware you can shake a stick at. So I am at a delema, I want to
help the person out, but I am leary about putting anything but windows
on it since they want to "play games" did not get into detail on this,
but really think I am stuck putting XP back on it. Any thoughts? I
would love to just throw a simple linux distro on it and call it a day,
but I fear that will just be too complicated in the end, especially with
him wanting do some gaming on it.
