[Opensource] OT opoen source windows replacement

[WEIR Andrew]

Apologise for the off topic post but I wanted to ask a few opinions.

I am reinstalling a few pc's for novice users and due to cost and
licenses want to use open source.
What is the easiest flavour of Linux to use for this purpose?

Personally I like ubuntu but I have thought about suse,lindows and a few
others.

These computers only require internet and email with some word
processing access so that's not the issue I just wanted the most simple
to use flavour for the actual operating system.

Any advice would be great

Andrew
