go for mandriva linux power pack edition it is one of the best & easiest to use than the free edition
the thing people like about mandriva is that all the software is on the cds or dvd. No need to go on the net to install stuff. This means a lot for most people who just install all they need and forget about it. And if they need something more they just pop in the cd and its done. I know several people who have done their install around 2004 and are happily chugging away without any need to reinstall/update anything
yes thats true it is one of the best & stable i havent restarted my mandriva powerpack machine for about 2 months this is the average that it goes without restarting which the best in any linux i havent seen any other linux going above 1.5 months without having a restart except on the servers
