My son Nathan suggested that I try Ubuntu - a debian based distribution. I did and it is great for the likes of me. I was able to download, burn the ISO, and install it without a hitch. We are using it now at home on a couple of workstations for my wife and daughter and my son. I'm moving more and more to it as I find replacement ways of doing my windows based stuff. Our goal is to have everyone here able to get online and do their online stuff without using any of my primary workstations.

I turned to Firefox for my internet browsing. What do I like about it? Popup blocking, Tabbed Browsing - makes for much easier Internet exploration, Easier search with Google built into the toolbar, easier downloading, customizable in form and function.
I've been using Thunderbird for several months with no real complaints. Thunderbird deals with spam nicely learning what I want and what I don't want. I think that Thunderbird needs to speedup certain functions. I deal with tons of emails and its bothersome sometimes because of its speed. But's its full speed ahead for me - no turning back.
I've been using both Firefox and Thunderbird for serveral months and I recommend that you do mix this combination.
