</span></font><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;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
