[ale] newbie distro... revisited

[jason.vinson at mindspring.com (Jason Vinson)]

morning folks,

I was talking to a friend at church last night about pc's and what not, and he mentioned that he is using windows 98 se.  From what I gathered from our conversation, he has a laptop as well, which he uses for most of his computing needs, so I figured I could give him some linux-evangelism.  I assume that since his desktop machine is running win98se, it is probably older, non-top end hardware.  So what do you think would be a good distro for him?  He's a CPSC guy at GaTech, so I am relatively sure he won't be too overwhelmed by it.  I was thinking either RH 8.0 or SuSE 8.0 (since i have the the professional CD set that I don't even use).

What do you guys think?
Jason
