Good luck, any probs just ask

Not sure what type of stuff you need to run but here's a list of some good basic software:

OpenOffice - IMO a lot better than MS Office

Ximian Evolution - Excellent mail client and personal information manager, has the same look'n'feel as MS Outlook so it's easy to get started

Mozilla Firefox for web browsing of course

On the matter of Gnome vs KDE when you get that option, it doesn't matter too much which one you select but I think KDE is slightly better for new users as it's more like MS Windows
