Hey guys, I've got a friend who wants to try Linux on this computer whose Windows corrupted. My intuition and a guy I know who uses Ubuntu suggest that Ubuntu's a good choice. Is it? (relevant info: if any sort of big problems occur, I'm probably gonna be the best person to ask, and I've used two distros (Mandrake and Ubuntu) for maybe several minutes in total. I'm looking forward to learning, though.)

Also, this computer doesn't get much use, but she does drawing and stuff, so would Ubuntu Studio be better than Ubuntu?

Also also, she reckons she'd install Linux on her main computer if it had Flash (not something like Flash, since she's learned how to use Flash already). Does it run under Wine or anything? (This is hardly a necessity, but it'd be good to know.)

Prospective thanks, guys!

spinach, thank you!

I don't think either of those will be on the cards, though she's planning an animation that I can only imagine is going to include music.

Did it work well for you?

It's just Flash, which is why its compatibility was so important.

I'll suggest that to her, though!
