They basically use it for the internet - so Mozilla Firefox, and would print some occasional documents - typically from the web.
I know these are features which every distro would do, but I'm trying to find something very user friently for a pair of senior citicizens who are used to an XP PC and panic at the first sign of a dialogue box they do not recognise or an interface which has changed!
The PC specs, just for a giggle, Pentium III, 700Mhz, 640mb RAM.
So, suggest away! - And also, if anyone has any tips RE installing it that would be great - I've only ever used linux distros for disaster recovery!
