Re: yay for linux! (newbie help)
You can definitely chalk up a vote for Ubuntu from me. By far the best and easiest to use Linux distro I've come across.

What's the spec of the PC? If it's running Windows 98 then presumably it's quite old, and so you may find Xfce a better prospect than the "heavyweight" Gnome or KDE.

The best thing to do is -- if you've got the time and bandwidth, of course -- download a few Live CDs and see which one you like best.
