[olug] Microsoft is out of control!

[Trent Melcher]

Thanks for the offer but no,  when we do it my bosses have opted for the
easy way and buy the laptops already pre-loaded with linux.  Just trying to
figure out which Distro and WM is most forgiving to the PC challenged...I
know what I would install for myself, but I have a few users that are not
bright when it comes to PC's even Win98 is out there for them...
