style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Ok I am new to Linux, never used it
and basically just want to be a user if that makes sense. I am sick of windows
but I know I will need to use it from time to time as it is my Laptop I use to
do all my customer invoicing on with specific software.Because I am new to this
I wouldn't have a clue on what the best "any idiot can use" version is, plus the
possibility of using some of my windows software on it as well.I use the laptop
mainly to bill my customers using a program called "cashbook complete" so would
need a version that would allow this to run, or some software I can run on linux
to replace this.I am not sure if there is anyone who could possibly do an
installation of it on my laptop either as again I am new to this so an
installation may be way over my head.My Laptop is an asus Z900u athlon 64bit
with a built in wireless network cark which I use to connect to the network and
the internet.If anyone can and wants to help out please email me<FONT
